A massive explosion of solar plasma erupted from the sun, caught by NASA satellites, showcasing a dramatic burst large enough to stretch across 30 Earths.

Parts of the UK could be treated to a display of the northern lights across the night sky tonight thanks to recent solar activity. The Met Office forecast the effects of a coronial mass ejection - a burst of material from the sun into space - would result in the colourful displays across northern parts of the UK from Tuesday evening.

NASA anticipates that a coronal mass ejection (CME), a burst of solar plasma, could arrive on Earth this Friday, leading to a minor geomagnetic storm.
