The northern lights, or aurora borealis, have captivated residents across various locations in the UK, including Richmond, Gedling borough, Harrow, and Royston, following a significant solar event. Photographers and stargazers reported stunning displays of vivid colors, particularly red and green, as charged solar particles interacted with the Earth's atmosphere. In Richmond, photographers captured a double rainbow before the aurora, while Gedling residents described the sky 'dancing' with colors. Harrow's residents shared their excitement on social media, showcasing beautiful images from North Harrow and Wealdstone. The Met Office had predicted that the aurora might be visible for several nights due to a coronal mass ejection from the sun, which was confirmed by sightings across the UK. Many locals expressed their astonishment at witnessing this rare phenomenon further south than usual, marking a memorable event in the autumn sky.
