27.02.2023 - 08:33 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Scotland was treated to one of the UK's most mesmerising displays of the Northern Lights in years last night (Sunday, February 26). And they are "likely" to be seen again tonight (Monday, February 27), the Met Office has said.
Last night's Aurora Borealis show across Scotland will live long in many people's memories. But other parts of the UK also had rare glimpses of the phenomenon caused by electrically charged particles from space entering the Earth's upper atmosphere at high speed.
There were reports of the dancing neon-like lights being spotted as far south in England as Sussex, Wiltshire and even Cornwall, reports Wales Online.

In a tweet shared just before 6.30pm yesterday, the Met Office said: "The Aurora Borealis may be visible as far south as central England tonight where skies remain clear. The Northern Lights are also likely to be seen again on Monday night."
The Met Office later confirmed that there had been many sightings across the UK. In a tweet shortly before midnight, the weather forecasting service used quite technical language to explain the occurrence, saying: "A coronal hole high speed stream arrived this evening combined with a rather fast coronal mass ejection leading to Aurora sightings across the UK."
But it also said the lights could well appear again over England tonight. A Met Office map showing places where the natural
