It looks like the strongest aurora will happen before midnight – but it'll depend on where you are in the UK and if you have clear skies. ☁️
Good luck!

That's exactly what new research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has discovered.
Experts took the temperature of a distant galaxy just 600 million years after the Big Bang and found it forms stars 180 times faster than the Milky Way.
