Last night one of our PhD students, Alice Humpage, captured the Northern Lights on camera at Navan Fort. At that time the aurora was too faint to be detected by eye but is detectable in this short timelapse video. Look for the green lights. The Northern Lights are caused by solar particles colliding with the Earth's upper atmosphere. Good, clear, dark skies and looking in the general direction of North are needed to see this phenomenon in Northern Ireland. No more current alerts yet but check out the Met Office Space Weather forecast at https://tinyurl.com/mr2m3frc
