Apparently we may get to see them tonight in over the British Isles. Don't know if it will be seen everywhere but up here will have a better chance than down there..

Wont be till about 04.00am though

Doubt I'll see them down here no matter how late I stay up. Lots of background light from town and too far south I think.

..... and if the aurora can't be seen from where you are then you can just substitute the song.

..... and I guess this one is relevant too .....
