Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Should be a good light show from the northern parts of Scotland tonight, been a large solar flare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OLDACE 196 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Unfortunately in the far North it doesn't get dark enough to see the Northern Lights this time of year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 As Oldace says, no lights to be seen - no darkness to see them against. However, for my 65th this year I'm taking the Hurtigruten ferry from Bergen up to Kirkenes (12 days) to see if I can get an arctic circle view of the lights. Despite being in the far north we still don't see them as often as we would like. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I have just heard that the Northern Lights (Or what was it?) were seen in the W-ton Skies tuther night. I don't think there was a lot to see, but I would have liked to have seen the sight anyway. I got to wondering how many people have witnessed this show in different parts of the country. I know our Compo gets to see them more than most of us. It will be interesting to know the locations anywhere that they have been seen. http://www.expressandstar.com/picture-galleries/news-pictures/2016/02/01/whats-that-in-the-sky-over-wolverhampton/56afbf99778522-54248734-image/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 They were actually visible as far south as Oxfordshire last night. Amazing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deeps 68 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I saw them when I was serving in Iceland and Norway in the 60s. An awesome sight never to be forgotten Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 The Edinburgh skies were full of the Northern Lights last night. Taken by a friend at Newhaven Harbour. Photo taken last night near another friend's home in the Highlands. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
