As the nights draw in and the darker skies return, so too does the chance of seeing those illusive dancing lights to the north.
Northumberland was treated to one of the strongest aurora displays in living memory last year, not once, TWICE — bright enough to be seen with the naked eye over head.
It all started with a burst of material from the Sun — a solar storm powerful enough to disturb Earth’s magnetic field and paint the sky with light.
With the solar cycle still hovering around the peak, there’s every chance we could see something like it again this season.
Keep watching the skies. Your patience will be rewarded 👌✨
