Did you see the Northern Lights last night?
Costas Andreou sent us these amazing photos of the Aurora Borealis over Workington harbour.
The lights of the aurora are collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere.
The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common.
Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported. The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to arcs and ripples.
If you captured the Northern Lights, we’d love to see them! Email them to [email protected] and we’ll publish a selection.
