Fri Oct 11 16:52:15 UTC 2024: ## Northern Lights Put on Spectacular Show Across UK
**Manchester, UK -** Residents across the north-west of England were treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, last night. The vivid pink, purple, and green spectacle was visible across the UK, with the strongest and most widespread showing since May, according to BBC Weather.
This year, the Northern Lights have been increasingly visible due to a powerful geomagnetic storm, the largest since 2003. The storm, caused by a powerful solar flare, allowed the aurora to be seen as far south as Wales, from Anglesey to Swansea.
Spectacular images of the aurora were captured across Scotland, Devon, and Cornwall. Those wishing to capture the phenomenon themselves are advised to use a long exposure camera, as the aurora is not always visible to the naked eye.
This captivating display of nature’s light show has captivated observers across the country, with social media abuzz with stunning photographs and excited commentary.
