The beautiful light show is visible due to a 'particularly strong' geomagnetic storm, say forecasters.
The splendour of the Northern Lights has been seen across Yorkshire for the past two nights, bathing the sky in a multi-coloured, otherworldly glow.
Across Yorkshire, BBC Weather Watchers have sent in dozens of photos captured over the past 48 hours. While Monday's strong geomagnetic storm has eased, Met Office Space Weather forecasts said there could be a slight increase in activity again later for those still hoping to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis.The Northern Lights appear as bright, swirling curtains of lightsThe phenomenon is most commonly seen in regions close to the North Pole like Scandinavia, Greenland, Alaska, Canada and Russia.
Experts said the most impressive light shows happen when the Sun emits especially large clouds of particles called coronal mass ejections. For the best possible view, experts advise getting to an area where there are dark skies, away from street lights and where you can get a clear view of the whole night sky.
