northern lights

Solar activity producing intense geomagnetic strorms is making the northern lights visible across Ireland, Scotland and generally, northern Britain. Aurora borealis is the reaction of charged particules colliding with earth's magnetic shield, what refracts light and produces the spectacular show of changing colored lights. To be able to visualize this phenomena you just need a clear and dark sky, and as The Guardian says, a hat and a coat. If you live in the campside you'll be more likely to see them. The best hour is at nighfall and you can easily capture them with a camera, so do not forget yours!

I've always wanted to see the aurora borealis with my own eyes, but unfortunately they're not visible from Spain... So if you live in norhern Britain or even northern Europe do not miss this stunning show if you have the chance to see it. As it seems this solar activity only occurs during some days every ten or fifty years, so take your chance now because you may not be able to see them this easily for a lot of time.
