Northern lights wow sky-watchers for second night

  • last year
Jaw-dropping views of the northern lights have wowed UK sky-watchers for a second evening.

An aurora is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic.

Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.

They are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind.
