As we reach the solar maximum of the current solar cycle, the Northern and Southern Lights have been more active than ever, illuminating skies in unexpected places.

AuroraWatch issued a rare 'red alert', indicating that the northern lights are likely visible across the UK, including London, following a significant solar flare.
