‘I took this amazing photo of the Northern Lights – in the south of England!’

The Northern Lights captured at Glastonbury Tor in Somerset, England, in September 2023.

This is all changing, however, says astrophotographer Josh Dury, who captured this image at Glastonbury Tor in Somerset – in the southwest of England and one of his regular haunts for shooting the stars.
