The BBC twitter channel reported tonight that the UK saw the best Northern Lights display in over 20 years. You can see the full post here. With a little luck and clearing skies, we may be able to see them in the Northeast USA as the aurora oval rotates to the west. I’ve embedded a few tweets below from the UK and Norway so you can see for yourself:
