Victoria and David Beckham share snaps of Northern Lights - and they're visible again in the UK tonight


David and Victoria Beckham shared their snaps of the Northern Lightse seen all over Britain on Friday, and there's still time to catch the light display this weekend

Husband and wife David and Victoria Beckham both took to their Instagram stories to share beautiful photos of the Northern Lights on Friday 10 May. In case you missed the natural phenomenon, it is expected the lights will also be visible tonight (Saturday 11 May), with the Met Office saying there is a good chance of sightings in Scotland and the north of England, Ireland and Wales, especially if the skies are clear. The lights are caused when charged particles are shot out from the sun and hit gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and at the moment the sun is experiencing a severe geomagnetic storm that is sending out solar winds with these particles into the solar system, creating colours when they mix with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in our atmosphere.
