Sky-gazers in Edinburgh and the Lothians were treated to the spectacular sight of the Northern Lights last night (Thursday, October 10).
The Northern Lights – or the Aurora Borealis – are created by disturbances in Earth’s magnetosphere caused by a flow of particles from the Sun, and are usually concentrated around the Earth’s magnetic poles. Catching a glimpse of these celestial wonders is often on many people’s bucket lists, and while it’s rare to spot them in the UK, last night was a great night for spotters.
