The possibility of seeing the Northern Lights in Scotland on Thursday and Friday night has increased after the sun unleashed a giant solar flare. Scientists said the burst of radiation and magnetic energy could also disrupt communications equipment. The phenomenon is caused by charged gas particles that flow away from the Sun as a “solar wind” interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field.
