🔊The Sun spew has arrived! If you've got clear skies after dark, check the #aurora forecasts. Red alert = go outside & look North and don't be fooled by the photos. Aurora usually look like silvery shimmery clouds. Use a long exposure on your phone to see the colours! 🔭🧪 ℹ️: aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk
