If you missed Northern Lights, then gear up for another light show!

 

The residents of the US and the UK were lucky enough to witness aurora borealis or Northern Lights; however, there are people who could not catch a glance of such an exceptional view.

But do not worry, as experts have released some good news for those who were left behind in observing the Northern Lights that swept Midwestern US states and some European countries.

Astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich Dr Greg Brown told Mail Online: "The sun is currently in a period of particularly intense activity."

The sun reaches its peak of activity every 11 years called solar maximum, in which solar flares and charged particles erupt from its surface and travel millions of miles to hit the Earth. 

Their interaction with our planet’s magnetic field caused the colours to emerge in the night sky.

Scientists have maintained that it is difficult to predict Northern Lights but they believe that aurora borealis may show up again this week or early next week.

Dr Brown said: “There are signs of another storm approaching within the next few days, which might boost the aurorae again. While we remain at the sun’s peak, the chance of a solar storm remains quite high.”

On Saturday, the powerful g4 solar storm sturck Earth causing disruptions in the satellite communications, GPS and power grids. Elon Musk also revealed that his Starlink satellites were under immense pressure and that SpaceX had commenced probe into the matter.
