Aurora Borealis over Yorkshire? - a photo on Flickriver

Aurora Borealis over Yorkshire?

            On Friday 10 May 2024, there was massive increase in the solar wind hitting the Earth's atmosphere, caused by a huge coronal mass ejection. This led to the Aurora Borealis becoming visible much further away from the magnetic north pole than usual, reaching many parts of Europe, including as far as the south coast of the UK.

This was something I never expected to see over Yorkshire! It's such a rare phenomenon and I had no time to plan ahead, but I felt like I might only have one chance and I just had to try and capture it. I was treated to a spectacular display of light streaking across the whole sky.
