Once every eleven years, the Sun reaches a crescendo of activity, and in this present peak, Britain finds itself beneath a sky that occasionally catches fire with colour. A coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on August 30 arrived at Earth's magnetic field on Monday, and tonight — weather and moonlight permitting — the Northern Lights may be visible across much of the UK without any special equipment. It is a reminder that the heavens remain indifferent to borders and expectations, offering their spectacles on their own terms, to those patient enough to look up.
