A solar event near the limb took us by surprise. The effects of this event were first felt early on the 23rd GMT, but the ejecta from the sun arrived just now (5:30pm Apr 23 GMT).
Tonight there will be aurora over the northern tier of the US, Northern UK, Southern Scandinavia, and Southern Alaska. Observers in Southern New Zealand and Tasmania should watch the sky tonight, if the activity proves to be long-lasting.

We can get a good view from where I live as it's out of the town. If I'd just looked out of my windies!!

Don't need to. I live in the suburbs on the lip of a hill near the Donegal Hills with a perfect view of the north horizon. Unfortunately there's light pollution 10 miles to the north of me from new housing estates and 24 hour industrial activity.

I'm afeared to bring the milk in even. Could you see much of it from Larne - if you'd used the windies, that is.
