Northern Lights could be visible in Kerry again tonight

The Northern Lights could be seen in the skies over Kerry overnight.

The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are the results of charged particles, protons and electrons, ejected from the sun’s atmosphere, colliding with gas particles in our atmosphere.

It commonly occurs in polar regions and Scandinavian countries.

Forecasters say there could be a chance to see the lights again tonight.
