The northern lights were captured for the second night in a row across the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
After a large solar eruption on the Sun earlier this week – known as a Coronal Mass Ejection – our atmosphere continues to be hit by increased solar energy.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night Earth was hit by another strong solar storm registering 4 – on a scale of 1 to 5.<\/p>\n
While more cloud and some rain across meant the aurora wasn’t as visible for many, the storm was strong enough for people in southern England to once again see a spectacular display.<\/p>\n
Over the last couple of nights our BBC Weather Watchers have sent in some spectacular pictures.<\/p>\n
This latest solar storm has now weakened so space weather forecasts from the Met Office don’t suggest another display of the northern lights over the next few days.<\/p>\n
But, with solar activity generally remaining active there should be more opportunities to see the aurora in the coming months.<\/p>\n
