The phenomenon, also known as aurora borealis, is usually seen from countries such as Iceland and Norway
The Met Office announced on Sunday 24 March that the phenomenon could be seen overnight due to “a combination of fast solar winds and the recent arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun”.
The sky lights up with large areas of colour, including pale green, pink, shades of red, yellow, blue and violet. Different colours in the sky result from particles interacting with different gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, according to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Occasionally, a deep red hue may appear when solar particles interact with oxygen molecules at very high altitudes.
