The onset of fast solar winds and a possible CME reaching Earth means that aurora sightings are possible tonight
This is most likely for northern Scotland with lower chances further south
Look to the northern horizon and take a peek ✨

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor spoke about building the economy “brick by brick” but left out the very foundation that underpins it all: nature.
The same Government that promised to restore our natural world appears instead to have wiped it from their agenda.

Did you know oysters are tiny water treatment plants? 🦪
Every single oyster can filter up to 200 litres of water a day, improving water quality and tackling ocean pollution.
