The Northern Lights illuminated skies across parts of the UK and Ireland overnight, with a chance of reappearing on Tuesday following a powerful solar storm.
This spectacular display was triggered by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) that erupted from the Sun late on Saturday, reaching Earth between Monday and early Tuesday. The Met Office had earlier indicated the resulting geomagnetic activity could extend the aurora's visibility further south than usual, given dark, clear skies.
