Gofrixty [03 September 2025] – Aurora-hunters across the UK braced themselves for a second night of stunning Northern Lights after a powerful solar storm illuminated the skies in rich hues. People in Scotland, northern England and even parts of Wales managed to take stunning photos of purple, green and red auroras on Sunday night.
A burst of solar activity, experts said, sent charged particles heading toward Earth, which interacted with the planet’s magnetic field — and, well, you know the rest. Clear weather in many places provided millions of people a chance to see the phenomenon, even those who live well beyond the Arctic Circle.
The Met Office has promised that solar conditions are still high and there is a prospect of another night of Northern Lights. “The storm rages on, so much of the UK has another chance,” a spokesman sighed.
