northern lights set to be visible over britain on thursday evening - outdoor solar street lights

The spectacular lights of the Northern Lights illuminate the British Sky on Thursday night.
The increase in solar activity means a better chance of seeing the Northern Lights in Scotland, and even in northern England.
The British Geological Survey reported that the possibility of earth storms has increased, while clear skies across the UK provide perfect conditions for starwatchers.
To maximize your chance to watch the light show, move away from the area of artificial light and into the countryside.
In Scotland, the best places to see the Aurora include the Highlands, aberdernshire, the island of Caine Gomez, and the island of Skye.
According to the Sky Scanner, viewers in the UK are advised to bring their cameras to the Lake District and Northumberland.
Aurora can be seen in South Dakota, Iowa, Montana and Washington in the United States.
Other countries include Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Russia.
Scientists traditionally believe that the Northern Lights are produced by charged particles carried by the solar wind hitting the Earth's magnetic field.
But the latest evidence suggests that the theory is wrong.
It is not produced by particles, but by the Earth's constantly moving magnetic field.
On September, the Icelandic capital, Iceland, closed its street lights and people could see a particularly spectacular display of the Northern Lights.
