Northern Lights could be visible over UK skies tonight

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Northern Lights visible from Bristol to Scotland tonight

The recent explosions on the sun that sent a ‘solar tsunami’ of superhot plasma into the Earth’s magnetic field could produce spectacular Northern Lights as far south as Bristol tonight.

cool--I got a big f**k off telescope for my 40th earlier this year from the missus-so hopefully if it is a clear night,I can set it up in the back garden, get some beer and some sounds and watch the night sky :)

Will that be better than a Sisters gig???
