How to see the Northern Lights in the UK tonight as rare red alert issued

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"People across the UK are likely to be able to spot the Northern Lights in the sky tonight, according to experts. A red aurora alert has been issued for Wednesday night by physicists at Lancaster University, who monitor geomagnetic activity to predict when Brits are most likely to spot the colourful spectacle. Weather experts from the Met Office also said the onset of fast solar winds as well as a possible solar phenomenon known as a coronal mass ejection (CME)"

Donations enable journalists to be sent to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and to investigate political PAC finances and produce documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Journalists are deployed to speak to both sides of stories, and reporting and analysis remain free of paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. A red aurora alert has been issued for Wednesday night, with northern Scotland most likely to see the northern lights and lower chances further south. Fast solar winds and a possible coronal mass ejection (CME) could increase visibility, with probabilities highest around 9pm.
