The Northern lights near Whissendine in Rutland this evening. Very odd being exactly 2 years since the last big display in October 2024. #aurora #northernlights #rutland

Gorgeous aurora visible in Northumberland during this ongoing solar storm. Catch this current show, as views will likely dim soon for a little while. Likely more aurora is coming though because this is a very complex set of storms passing over us. Thanks for reporting!

“I think that sky’s going to light…” Oh look it did! Leaving Castaways in Mylor, Kerry suggested using St Mylor Church when the clouds began glowing. She was absolutely right. Usually a sunrise location, the best sunset colour isn’t always where the sun is. #Cornwall #Mylor

Modern mobile phone cameras are particularly sensitive to aurora. It’s no more common than at previous solar maxima (which occur every 11 years) but it’s much easier to photograph now.
