Northern Lights will be visible in parts of the UK TONIGHT as a huge coronal mass ejection strikes Earth .

Experts at the UK 's Met Office say people in Scotland , northern England and Northern Ireland will be able to witness the colourful light display tonight .

Southerners who are too far south might be able capture the streams of colourful light with their smartphone camera even if they can't see it themselves.

The solar cycle is the cycle that the sun's magnetic field goes through about every 11 years .

Scientists can track the cycle is by counting the number of 'sunspots' dark areas on the sun.

The beginning of an 11-year solar cycle, when the sun has the fewest sunspots, is known as the solar minimum.

The solar maximum is coming sooner than expected 2024 rather than late 2025 .
