Norway mass exports Northern Lights to UK

Stargazers were out in force in northern Europe this week, hoping to catch a glimpse of the spectacular showing of northern lights after the most powerful solar storm in six years. The aurora borealis was sighted across the skies as far south as Ireland and England, where people rarely get a chance to catch the stunning light show. A display normally reserved to the northern most parts of Norway.
