The northern lights lay over the spectacular show over the northwest overnight.
Photographers from all over the region have taken breathtaking shots of the lively green, yellow, purple and red of the natural phenomenon, which is known as an aurora borealis.
The Aurora has been more visible in the past few weeks due to the increased solar activity, since the earth reaches the “height” of the 11 -year sun cycle of the sun.
Mark Griffiths, who works as a tour guide in Iceland during winter in Iceland, said that the “main show” was taking place shortly after 8:00 p.m. after midnight after a few weaker sightings.
Mr. Griffiths, 41, said he wanted to grasp the lights above the Paddington Bear Strohstatue in Nantwich, Cheshire.
“I wanted to get this shot because the north lights over Cheshire. It's not really normal, right?” he said.
“I go on tours and I saw it hundreds of times, but that was half otherwise.”
The BBC journalist Christian Spooner captured a striking light near Quernmore in Lancashire, while photographer Jonny Gios caught the Aurora via Scout scarben in the Lake District.
Paul Byers caught lively Greens and Lila Aurora over the port of Maryport in Cumbria, while John Griffiths managed to get Film material from Ramsey from Ramsey.
Cameras are more common to absorb the lights than the exposure eye, but overnight there were considerable periods in which the colors could be seen.
According to Prof. David Schultz, professor of synoptic meteorology at the University of Manchester, there was “above -average” activities last night.
AuroraWatchukA warning service that was performed by scientists in the department for spatial and planetary physics in the physics of Lancaster University recorded a period of “amber” activity in the early morning.
Bernstein means that the lights are probably visible through the eye from Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland and possibly from elsewhere in the UK.
There were also longer periods of yellow activity, which means that the lights in northern England and to Scotland are visible from the camera shortly before 9:00 p.m. and after 00:00 to short after 3:00 a.m.
The lights are caused when energy that is exhausted in events called coronal mass section are directed from solarfolds to the earth's atmosphere, where they react with oxygen and nitrogen.
