Wow it’s rare to see the Northern Lights as far south as Brighton in Sussex England, just spectacular tonight!
I could see things in Cambridge too. But also clouds.

I’ve just woken up & missed it all.
It was the sun’s mass eruption that caused a powerful geomagnetic storm to hit Earth. Due to the eruption, the northern lights were seen around Europe, all the way South to the Alps. And it’s not over yet, as these shock waves will continue to affect Earth’s magnetic field throughout the weekend.

A bit further north (and not such great photos 
) this is just a few miles outside Stratford-upon-Avon.

It was amazing in Northumberland, it’s the first time we’ve seen them properly, we saw a glimpse from an airplane to Iceland once, but last night was brilliant.

Some great photos here. If I see them tonight I’ll post pics if any good
Scan around with your camera as it’s much harder to see with the naked eye, also try to avoid any light pollution if you can.

Aurora Australis or Southern Lights were spectacular too in some southern parts of Australia. Not where I live but here’s a couple from Tasmania.

Was hoping to see them out in the countryside west of Wash, DC but the clouds covered the sky last night!
Back in the 1980s I saw a subdued display out walking my Irish Wolfhound in St Paul, Minn. Sam the IW wasn’t interested no matter how I pointed his eyes to them.

I’m in Vancouver, Canada and saw nothing last night. Meanwhile, friends of mine living a one to three hour drive North of me had some great photos. Also have friends in England and Ireland who captured great pics. Going to see if I can capture photos tonight.
This is not my photo but a friends from San Francisco with the Golden gate bridge.
@BonnyinBrighton I’m in Brighton for the night as I’m flying out tomorrow, I’ll semy alarm just in case since i slept through it while in Plymouth.
