    A heads up on the Northern Lights.

    Was out and about tonight and they seem to be visible between the clouds. Nice display at times.

    Apparently there was a major solar flare a few days ago.

    According to that article "It is likely to spark spectacular displays of the aurora or northern and southern lights."
