That's most likely Venus. Mars appears much smaller, but does have a red colour to it. Unfortunately, I don't believe the Uranous is visible to the naked eye.

Aurora Borealis

Some of you, may have seen the Northern Lights last night. If you did and want to see them again, or you missed them, they should be on display again tonight over much of the UK.
The early hours of the morning, away from light pollution should give the best views.

Northern Lights: How to see them in the UK tonight

Missed the Northern lights last night? Don't worry, there will be another opportunity to see them tonight. Here's how.
www.bbc.co.uk
 
I got a notification from an app I have saying the lights were likely to be visible throughout the UK but I couldn't see anything, then this morning the local FB sites were full of pictures taken locally, probably about an hour or so after I looked. Anyway, it's been red alert for the aurora all day today during daylight hours but it has just dipped to amber so unless it peps back up there's less chance of seeing it this evening but fingers crossed anyway.

Currently the alert level is down to yellow so only possible to see the aurora from the northern most tip of the UK.

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.

The joys of travel. Train from Edinburgh to Leeds is cancelled so having another night in Edinburgh and heading back in the morning!
Tbf Edinburgh isn't a bad city to be stuck in.
