Northern Lights will appear as far south as London tonight as a 'severe' geomagnetic storm slams into Earth .

The best way to catch the display is to find a dark place, away from light pollution.

Best aurora hotspots include the Lake District in Cumbria , Arthur 's Seat in Edinburgh , the Shetland Islands and Whitley Bay , North Tyneside .

Storm is triggered when a violent stream of charged particles released from the sun's outermost atmospheric layer is directed towards us.

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

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

The number of sunspots increases as the sun reaches solar maximum.

A recent study predicted the solar maximum is coming sooner than expected.
