Northern lights across UK may happen again soon, experts predict

Extreme geomagnetic storm that lit up skies last weekend could recur as 11-year solar cycle reaches its peak

Anyone who missed the northern lights last weekend may get another chance to see them as experts predict there could be more soon.

Last weekend, bands of pink and green light, known as aurora borealis, lit up the night sky, with rare sightings across the UK, Europe and the northern hemisphere after an extreme" geomagnetic storm caused them to be more visible, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
