If you stepped outside late last night you may have witnessed a rare and spectacular display. Auroras - bands of pink and green light across the night sky - which are normally only seen close to the poles. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
But because of an extreme solar storm, last night the Northern Lights were spotted right through the UK and across the Northern Hemisphere.
And meteorologists say there may be a second chance to see them tonight.

No one talked about it until it already passed
I know
I was alerted to it by chance on a community Facebook page.
Media don't like talking about the sun and solar impacts on our planet. As it raises uncomfortable questions...like wow one solar storm that wasn't that strong can cause Aurora not seen like this for over 100 years. Then what does it do for temperature and why was the earth magnetic field so weak? It also exposes climate change due to carbon dioxide is an absolute lie, so they'd rather under report it or even ignore a real display of the power of our sun to change our planet.
UK news when it comes to abit of wind: 😱 UK news when it comes to super rare celestial event: 😴
i heard we might see it tonight and on monday night as well ( from what i've seen when i went out for photos its more visible in pictures than from the naked eye as the lenses can pick the colours up better then our eyes can!) /pos
We stayed out last night to watch this,nothing, no cloud, clear sky, partial moon,no light pollution, overlooking the Atlantic. Nothing. We were told to see it we needed to use a specific app or function on the phone to see it via the camera. Total wash out for us, so we went on a woodland walk instead. Plenty of owl hoots, fox yelps and what sounded like badgers moving through undergrowth.
I'm pretty sure it was the night before
friday night
I seen it purely by chance on Friday night. On BBC news, they briefly mentioned the high chance of Northern lights but I forgot by the end of the day. It was only after a drive to caerphilly mountain that I noticed the car park was rammed and I asked what was going on. The woman said the northern lights were out so I walked to the summit to have a look and sure enough the bands were clear and you could see some colour. It covered about 2/3rds of the sky. I went back again to have a look last night and instead of the hundreds on Friday night, there were thousands and the place was in complete gridlock but nobody could see a thing.
I saw the aurora tf do you mean?
Badgers or doggers?
Aurora borealis.. at this time of day.. at this time of year.. in this part of the country.
Yes. Can I see it? NO!
Localised entirely in your kitchen!?
@@timsyoutube6051 yes.
I've seen the Areola many times - that Kerry Katona's always whipping em out = any excuse 😆😆😆
Whilst eating Steamed hams
I was on a flight to London from the USA last night and flew through this, there was this wonderous purple for an hour or so out the window, didnt know this is what it was!
Just an even stronger solar flare and it would have been GG for you.
I've been wondering if ppl could see it on a plane. Wow, you just took a rare experience to the next level, travelling alongside it at super speed
it was the ghost of that little Purple Prince of Pop.............. praps ??
You plane was flying at 80 miles high? Impressive. Also, you were in space. Well done.
Yes I was in a flight from New York to Manchester last night as well and saw a band of pinky purple lights overnight - amazing.
Aurora Borialis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely within your kitchen?!
yes!
@@BenWillock no
lol - from the Simpsons
Is it appropriation if Southerners enjoy the Northern Lights.

It represents the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The closer it gets to the southern hemisphere, the closer the return of Christ Jesus is. He has told me this and many other has prophesied it. It is also closely linked to the three days of darkness. I strongly recommend searching up about this as this eclipse will occur at midday where the whole world will be engulfed in darkness for three day. You will not want to be caught outside during this time. If you're caught outside, you will not the make it out alive (think of bird box) This is truth. The natural and the super natural realms are colliding, this is why you're seeing aliens edging closer into our airspace and showing themselves and why you're seeing the aurora borealis operating outside its typical circumstance. Please ask Jesus to reveal himself to you before it's too late! Those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved!
Gayyyyyy
nah - they're all Just Stopping Oil & wittering on about Palestine & their benefits payments.......... tossers
No, because both are natural phenomenons and forces of nature that care not for the trivialism of human insecurities.
Well, I stayed up until 1.30am here in Essex. Nuffin’.
Still awake nothin
still awake in newcastle absolutely nothing
Wales still awake and nothing x

the one day i went to sleep earlier and i miss this hopefully catch it tonight
Is it happening today tho ? Also I'm in uk
@@kabishnando4286 mostly northern irleand and scotland this time and even then its weaker ive yet to see it but i live in a city so fair amount of light pollution in the way
@JupiterPluto35 unlucky man me too I have never seen it and yesterday I went sleep and could of saw it for the first time
@@kabishnando4286 same
@@JupiterPluto35 currently nothing sadly
It's called Haarp. who said they were testing on those dates. Testing weather as always
We didn’t see anything last night I waited all night. Friday night was amazing in london
Going to see more on Saturday night, maybe on Sunday Monday night as well. Get out and look up folks.
Yes get out and and look up and noticed a global engineering what the small planes are putting out all the time to make it dimmer and more cloudy.. pure evil if you ask me
I hope so, I misses it :(
Ik it might be a dumb question but can u see it in london?
@@bobmiahyes
be lucky to see it by eye!
Sorry to be a pedant but it is 'phenomena' not 'phenomenons'

I’m not sorry you’re a pedant. I am of the same mind.
@@dougaltolan3017 Funny - the word always makes me think of that song!
Careful, they used to throw pedants to the lions back in the day.
What sort? There's more than one species.
"phenomenons"? How about actually explaing why it occurs: the earth's magentosphere deflecting deadly radiation back into space. This is so dumbed down it's tragic.
This event was a small version of what could one day wipe our satellites and power grids out completely.
Don't put ideas into the overlords head😂😂..,....only jokin......such a wonderful sight to marvel

Tip… if you’re struggling to see it, put your phone in night mode and look trough your phone. Probably too late now.
If it’s this low, it’s not good. Those who know, know.
It's you and 4 others bro, i'll sleep easy i think.

You know it 😂 Free light show? Not for long! 🤑
😂😂😂🤝🇷🇺❤️Taxes are a favorite topic of politicians😂
this is haarp
Do you think so, we are highly sceptical as to why this is happening here all of a sudden. Why is everyone being told to look at a rare magical thing through their phones? Something doesn’t add up what’s your thoughts

@@Disguised_Cat10 Please google "dawn"
Let's hope it's another sunny night tonight.
We saw it in Bath! It was awesome, totally worth staying up for
Cool. I'm about 22 miles away - but didn't know it was happening
I got amazing photos in East Kilbride Scotland. It was fantastic to see.
Stunning ❣️❣️
Saw no news of the aurora leading up to the first night so knew nothing about it, and stayed up late last night waiting for it but saw nothing :/
Me too. :/
That's a bit of a cop out if you can only see it on your phone🤣🤣
You should be able to see it with your naked eyes if you're in a location with good visibility. Locations near the coast are best. I know people in Dublin, Wicklow and Kerry who saw the Aurora (and photographed it) on Friday night. Also, the Irish Naval Service saw it off the coast of Cork (southern Ireland) on Friday night.
@@ciarakristos111 Thanks! Unfortunately I'm not near the coast.
Ahh the dawning of midnight skies - one of the world’s many phenomenons
😂 I haven't watched this, I just went straight to the comments. Is that what they said?
Solar radiation sure looks pretty😅
Oh yes very pretty, when one knocks the grid out watch them blame climate change!!, not a mention of Carrington across the MSM!
That's why the atmosphere protects us from the most harmful radiation, some may get through but not much
@@EAMonstahI believe that the magnetosphere plays a more significant role in the protection…
Yes, sunshine is pretty.

I caught it on camera for the first time. The photographs were nothing special in terms of location and composition, but the natural phenomenon was pretty special to me as I have no idea when I'll be able to see that again. I certainly can't travel to see it any time soon. It''s one for the memory bank!
Do not be deceived By these sign it's better to have Jesus Christ in your memory bank! Y because vHe is the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through Me". For what is profit is to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul. Or what will a man give in exchange of his soul? Repentance is the *key for Salvation*
@@fiaw6952 I only believe in what I can see, what is your excuse.
@@fiaw6952 Don't be fucking daft. The Aurora Borealis is part of the splendour of nature and, if Jesus Christ was here now, he'd be absolutely delighted with it!
We need a law passed to stop this pollution, and tents around cities, with people and banners
Rare, you always get a good view at the top of Scotland. Xx
It’s the Haarp
It may look pretty but if we had a Carrington even level magnetic storm we'd all be crying into our cornflakes
It's a scary thought,I'd give it 24hrs or less until city's turned into war zones. It will more than likely happen in our lifetime, due to earths magnetic field weakening.
Would be good, people would have to use only retro groovy cars and tech. Wind up generators to power my vape.......

It was crazy how it looked over the London skyline
They were seen very clearly in Australia too with stunning red sky.
Also Bournemouth saw the northern lights Friday night.

saw them from my window at BU 😊
The aurora magnifico in full bloom
I’m so happy I witnessed it 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow. Looks really awesome
Can't see a blooming thing my side tonight. Too much light pollution. Careless businesses leaving lights on all night outside. Can't go further out into the open alone 😡😞
not safe in uk
Amazingly AWESOME 🙌🏼 I saw these newses and I imedenty looks outside but I could not see it …But what I’m really fasatated is the moon 🌙
If you were looking at the moon, then you were looking in the wrong direction. Look north.
@@williamgardner2739 oh ok thanks I’ll try that tonight 🙌🏼
Saw them in Twickenham the night before. Sheer magic
guess who stayed up till 3am for nothing
Rolf was heard to shout "Can ya tell what it is yet ?............... mate ? "
Did they say which areas of the UK it was observable? All I heard was get out of the city which wasn’t quite specific enough for me.
Coastal areas are best for good visibility.
Im from eastbourne below London i cant believe i missed the northern lights outside on Saturday as i fell asleep. Ill be looking out the window tonight at northern lights
Why is the media not talking about how far south the Aurora is being seen. They were viewed as far south as Mexico and Puerto Rico. Last time this happened was over 100 years ago with a far stronger solar storm. This shows that the earths magnetosphere is weakening to dangerous levels.
Or the fact they ran HAARP tests at the same time ? They've now removed any information on the May 8th to 10th test from the Internet. Unless you can find anything?
On a flight from New York to Manchester last night and the pink purple hue was amazing.
That was a bit risky... all the electronics on board flying through a magnetic storm.
I so want to experience this!! ❤
“Phenomenons”. Journalist?
It will be in the dic next year as many other `stupid words` are added.
This will not be so rare in the coming years. Eyes open people.

Seen it in northern ireland. 😍😍😍
We saw it in Devon
I missed the first night; knew nothing about it ... and the second night I kept looking out from 21:30 to 2AM... Zip :(
Awesome Spectacle . #AuroraBorealis
Wow, and it eas my 50th yesterday. I wish I could see them 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy 50th birthday to you for yesterday 🎉 🎈
Thanks so much.
Happy Belated Birthday, girl. ✨🎈🎁😎
❤❤❤❤thank-you ❤❤❤
Short answer: it’s pissing it down. No more lights.
We are in the middle of a massive geomagnetic storm
I'm guessing none of us in London will see it because of light pollution? I kept my curtains open last night, hoping I might notice something. I really need to invest in a telescope so I can have a look around space, but I just don't know what I need.
Me feeling sorry for my mate who went on a cruise but the lights didn’t show 😂…
He probably didn't look through his phone 😃 I find it odd that we can't see anything with our naked eye. Everything we know and see is through a lens or social media...
Didn’t this happen in the early 80’s ? I remember seeing it in Cornwall
After waiting till 2 am. No.
cant wait to see it!
I could see them Flagstaff Arizona
Realy beautiful
That first time-lapse is a banger.....😜
Norway HF radio 160 thru 10 meters is very poor propogation reduced to basically local. Only vhf and uhf are working but that is very local 40 miles max without repeaters
It was do bright above my house, I've never seen the northern lights before, so it was crazy to see it
I have read 'The Day Of The triffids', do not watch lol!
Snap, although using your phone might be safer?
Well no-one has woke up blind this morning so I guess it's fine 🙂
Hey, not to worry. That old movie was put about by those prejudiced against triffids.
That's about killer plants😂
More like War of the Worlds actually. Green glow anyone? Little green men from Mars? But actually, it's just the sun doing its thing, which it does from time to time.
I turned 30 yesterday 😯
Happy Birthday for yesterday. 🎈🎉🎁🙂

The biggest thing to happen in UK since the beginning. Coutries ralking point right now. Brits love talking about the weather
It is extremely rear to see Aurora in our living area, Portsmouth.
Will it happen again today in reading?
Missed it. I shall look out tonight.
Maybe listen to the video…
I just did, nothing to see yet.

Looks pretty until the next Carrington event.
Absolutely nothing to do with Northern lights .......
Looks lovely 😂 don't think she knows much
We could do with a Carrington event and I don't think we've topped the solar maximum for this cycle regarding solar flare activity
You can travel to the Arctic to see the Northern Lights and because of bad conditions come back disappointed. To see them in southern England very very lucky. Im jealous
Why ? Has scotland 's electricity bern cut off ?
I have been up the whole time and I didn't see the lights today in Devon.
