Solar activity is the strongest for 23 years. This means continuing increased chance of seeing the Northern Lights for the foreseeable future.
Every night could be an Aurora Borealis night.....if the rain ever stops! 🌧️☔

A dedicated special zone for the deaf community and Chris Martin signing the first part of 'Something Just Like This'.
Whether you like them or not, Coldplay have to be lauded for their inclusivity. Can't imagine the Gallagher brothers doing this.
