by Great Britain can have an astronomical reward because the northern lights could be visible in parts of the country.
The weather forecast of Met Office Space showed which areas can take a look at the Aurora Borealis this weekend.
Some parts of Scotland may be lucky enough to see Aurora on Saturday and Sunday evening, said the forecast. However, it is possible that the display could be hindered by clouds.
Stephen Dixon from the Met Office said: “On Saturday evening there is a chance that Aurora visibility in Northern Scotland is thanks to a sunwind that connects to the earth.
“There are breaks in the cloud in the area, which increases the likelihood of sighting for those in the area.
“On Sunday evening in the north of Scotland there is the possibility of further potential sightings, although there are currently some uncertainties about it and other clouds could cover the potential of consideration.”
The aurora borealis is caused by solar storms on the sun surface.
These storms spend eclectically charged particles that can travel millions of miles, and in some cases they collide with the earth.
Although most of these sun particles are distracted, some are captured by the earth’s earth’s magnetic field that create spectacular displays.
Auroras emit several colors, such as purple, blue and pink, in the sky and are most visible at night. These colors are generated by two primary gases in the earth’s atmosphere – oxygen and nitrogen.
Oxygen causes a green light and nitrogen provides tips from purple or blue, while a red color can also be seen when oxygen interacts very high in the earth’s atmosphere with sun particles.
The Northern Lights in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the north of the American state of Alaska and Northern Siberia are usually visible in Russia. They are rarely seen in Great Britain.
The further north, the more likely they are the display, but due to the increased solar activity, the northern lights were recently discovered to Brighton and Cornwall.
According to the Met Office, the Northern Lights are the most active during the Equinox and the Sunscende in March and April or September and October.
The best consideration conditions are when the sky is dark and clear or clouds and light pollution, e.g. B. in remote areas that are exposed to the northern horizon.
