The sun gave off a very strong M 8.1 flare at 07:40:00 UTC 2017/09/08 and the debris is now showering the earth and creating the Aurora borealis (northern lights)
The flare is so big The phenomenon should be visible throughout the U.K.
I live in the north of england and have never seen it yet so i'm hoping tonight it will be visible from where i live.
For best views try and get away from light pollution and view from a hill, look to the north.

"The particle ‘debris’ created by a monstrously large solar flare reached Earth at around 00:00 BST last night. It sparked displays of the northern lights that were seen as far south as Edinburgh in Scotland and Arkansas in the US.
At 00:12 BST, Lancaster University’s Aurorawatch issued an amber alert, meaning that aurora is likely across Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. A dozen minutes later, they upgraded to red alert, saying “It is likely that aurora will be visible by eye and camera from anywhere in the UK.”
Experts say that the storm is still raging around our planet today and could continue or even intensify into this evening. This makes it possible – though not guaranteed –that another spectacular display of aurora could be seen tonight.
To see the aurora requires clear, dark skies, usually well away from streetlamps and other light pollution. Look north, because the phenomenon creeps down from the polar regions."
