Northern Lights to light up skies again - when and where to spot them

The Northern Lights may be visible between June 6-9 in parts of Europe. (Image: Getty) The Northern Lights are expected to brighten the night sky in a few days' time as solar storms continue to emerge from the sun. Also known as aurora borealis, bands of pink and green light were seen across the UK and other parts of Europe earlier this month after an extreme geomagnetic storm caused them to be more visible, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

That Sunstorm activity followed a period of flares and mass ejections of coronal plasma which threatened to disrupt power and communications on Earth and in orbit. The sunspot region behind the last display will be rotated back towards Earth in a few days, paving the way for further geomagnetic storms and displays of the Northern Lights. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
