Magic in the skies

What were you doing at 9:45 pm last night? Peter was, regrettably, sitting through another episode of Inspector George Gently, but the more intepid of you may have stepped outside and seen this magnificent display of the Northern Lights above the north Wales coast. According to Tracey Snelus of Astronomy for Fun, who was interviewed by the Daily Post, it is very rare for the lights to be seen this far south. I will definitely be taking a look outside tonight in the hopes of another display. How about you?
