    Default Northern Lights may be visible from England Tonight and Wednesday night

    Due to a major ejection of plasma from the sun, the Northern Lights, normally only visible from the far north, may appear to those in England.

    ..and of course we are bound to have cloudy skies.. we normally miss any celestial activity due to covered skies It looks like Tonight may be the least cloudy, so I'll be staring out just in case. With a glass or 2, so I may just see it whatever the case
