On Sunday evening, the sun reached out across the solar system and touched the skies of the United Kingdom. A coronal mass ejection and high-speed solar stream collided with Earth's magnetosphere, pushing the aurora borealis far beyond its Arctic home and into view above Scotland, Wales, and the English counties. For those who looked up, it was a reminder that the familiar sky overhead is part of a vast electromagnetic order — and forecasters suggested the invitation to look up would be extended one more night.
