Aurora borealis shines in UK skies after geomagnetic storm

For the second night in a row, the Northern Lights shone across the United Kingdom.

With a solar storm strengthening, they were even - more unusually - seen as far south as Devon and Cornwall on Wednesday night.

It comes after a vibrant display was seen across Scotland on Tuesday.

The current solar storm has now weakened but with overall solar activity remaining high, more sightings in the coming weeks and months are possible.
