Set Your Sights Skyward! The Northern Lights Will Be Visible from Ireland Tonight

It's considered one of the most breathtaking sights on the planet, and tonight the spectacular Aurora Borealis is set to be visible from Irish shores. NASA has issued a G2/KP6+ warning for the natural light phenomenon, suggesting that there is a greatly increased chance of seeing the skies light up in northern parts of the country, particularly north Dongeal, Derry and Antrim. Scientists monitoring solar activity have explained that a mass ejection of particles from the sun two days ago means that the light displays tonight could be of unusual intensity, meaning that they should be visible from much further south than normal. The best time to look skyward tonight is from 9pm to 11pm, so switch off that television and wrap up warmly to head outside and enjoy the view.
