Northern Lights dazzle across South West skies
BBC • • world
Key Points:
- Parts of south-west England experienced a rare and dazzling display of the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.
- The phenomenon was caused by solar eruptions sending charged particles towards Earth, which then interacted with the atmosphere.
- A coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun on Sunday triggered the aurora, according to the Met Office.
- The CME was expected to produce auroras across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and possibly regions further south.
