Northern Lights could be visible in Irish skies today as red alert issued in UK

There is a possibility that the Northern Lights will be visible over parts of Ireland tonight as a red alert has been issued by space physicists.

A Red Alert was issued by AuroraWatchUK yesterday evening, predicting the potential for another flash of the aurora borealis in this part of the world over the weekend. The Met Office space weather department has said that "enhancement to the aurora is likely into early May 18" in the Northern Hemisphere.

To give yourself the best chance of viewing the Northern Lights then make sure to avoid light pollution by seeking out dark, clear skies - a major factor in why cities so seldom get to experience the aurora.
