The spectacle was witnessed by numerous residents in Great Britain on the ground too. On Sunday night, a mesmerizing display of the northern lights illuminated the sky across Britain and Ireland, showcasing a breathtaking array of shimmering greens, purples, and pinks. This celestial phenomenon, also known as an aurora, is typically only visible near the Earth's magnetic north and south poles, where electrically charged particles from space collide with gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. The optimal places to observe the Northern Lights are typically in high-latitude areas closer to the Arctic, such as in Scandinavia. In the United Kingdom, Scotland and certain areas in northern England are typically the only regions fortunate enough to experience the aurora. On Sunday, the meteorological office said a "coronal hole high speed stream" had combined with "a rather fast coronal mass ejection" leading to sightings across the UK.
