The Northern lights are forecast to return to UK skies on Saturday night, March 21, following a stunning display that illuminated parts of the country as far south as Norfolk on Friday, March 20.

The beautiful natural display, known as Aurora Borealis, is caused by a geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME), in which waves of charged particles erupt from the Sun’s surface and interact with Earth’s atmosphere.

Oxygen emits green, while nitrogen emits reds, blues, and pinks, and this is what has brought us the brilliant display of colour that has mesmerized sky gazers in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and parts of northern England and Wales.

Weather Watchers reported seeing the Northern Lights in North Wales, Powys, and even on the Norfolk coast.

As per the Met Office Space Weather Analysts, geomagnetic activity is expected to remain elevated through Saturday night, with a chance of reaching another “strong storm” level.

This suggests that aurora could be visible across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern areas of England and Wales, with a small chance of sightings further south.

But clouds can cover the views for some areas across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Clear skies are expected to provide better viewing opportunities.

On Friday, northern lights aligned with the spring equinox, which improved visibility due to the Russell-McPherron effect.

This occurs when Earth’s magnetic field coincides with incoming solar winds, usually making it stronger around the equinoxes. 

Meghan Markle received a special honour after she publicly apologised for her mistake. 

On January 19, the Duchess of Sussex returned to the spotlight with her surprise appearance at the Alliance for Children’s Rights 34th Annual Champions for Children event in Beverly Hills.

She stepped out to support her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, who is the co-founder of Alliance of Moms. At the event, her philanthropic work was recognised with an award presented to her by the Duchess.

Dressed in a stunning strapless floor-length gown, Meghan was beaming with joy during her unexpected outing.

Not only that, she dropped a video on her official Instagram handle, featuring special moments from a memorable night.

Archie and Lilibet’s mother penned a note, “Proud to honour my forever friend @_heartmom_ for her outstanding work for @allianceforchildrensrights and @allianceofmoms. Kelly, you are one of one.”

Also, Meghan, who videobombed two girls’ TikTok video at the same event, said “sorry” to them for “crashing” their bathroom party. 

In response, the women shared a few delightful photos with the Duchess on social media, with an emoji of a crown.

Meghan received the title of Queen for her kind gesture. 

It’s not all red carpet and applause for Barry Keoghan – and he’s not pretending otherwise.

The 33-year-old actor got candid during a recent chat on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up, revealing that the internet’s darker corners are starting to take a real toll.

“I think I removed myself from online, but I’m still a curious human being that wants to go on and, if I attend an event or if I go somewhere, you want to see how it was received. And it’s not nice,” Barry said in a clip shared by Elite Daily.

“There’s a lot of hate online. It’s a lot of abuse of how I look.”

And it’s not just a passing annoyance – it’s changing how he lives.

“And I say this being absolute pure and honest to you. It’s becoming a problem,” he admitted.

“So yeah, I don’t have to hide away because I am hiding away. I don’t have to go to places because I actually don’t go to places because of these things. But when that starts leaking into your art, it becomes a problem because then you don’t even want to be on screen anymore.”

That last part hits hard – because when an actor starts avoiding the screen, we all lose.

But the most gut-punch moment? It’s not even about him.

“It is disappointing for the fans, but it’s also disappointing that my little boy has to read all of this stuff when he gets older,” Barry shared.
