+++ Northern Lights over Germany: Tonight it is possible! +++

Anyone looking attentively into the sky tonight may witness a rare natural spectacle. As experts of the German Aerospace Center report, one can possibly observe polar lights.

The reason is the strongest solar flare in 12 years and the ejected particles that look like polar lights. But do not be surprised: unlike in Iceland or other northern countries, where the lights are usually blue / green, they appear in a rich red color.

The only downside: To really observe the polar lights, it needs a clear and cloud-free sky. Unfortunately, according to the German weather services, this will not be the case in the coming nights. After all, a little hope exists in the south of the country.

+++ Double murderer Marcel H. pleads guilty +++

If he is sentenced to juvenile justice, he faces up to 15 years in prison, otherwise he could be imprisoned for life.
