Aurora to low latitudes likely.

Absolutely spectacular. Wife thanked me for waking her up!

And its everywhere. Here there is like a 5 pointed star with purple and blue ribons eminating from it. Some green too

Even here, in light pollution central, Dartford, I have now witnessed Aurora Borealis and it's been amazing. I thought my eyes were playing tricks, that my eyes were adjusting from light to dark, but that fushia pink was just too obvious! I too have some pictures and will share one or two later.

The wierd thing is that I first saw it looking south. That's how crazy it is; its directly overhead!

I feel like this is a once in a lifetime experience, at least for this latitude.

ditto - I was expecting to have to look low towards the northern horizon, I did not expect to look out of my bedroom window and see the northern lights directly above! 

A first for me at 36 years old. 

Nothing to see this morning, just low cloud and gloom, even though it's still going on.

Amazing few hours even here in inner London. Here are a few I captured:

Excited onlookers shared pictures of the lights, also known as aurora borealis, from areas including Liverpool, Kent, Norfolk and Sussex. There have also been sightings in parts of Scotland."

Risking it being some sort of porn or other dodgy content, I clicked through anyway... fantastic photos there! 👍

Local social media is alive with photos, so I can see what I missed: fantastic waves of pink and green, even some purple by the looks of it. My webcam caught it too, shining behind the Scots Pine, albeit only in shades of grey as it was nighttime.

Remarkable, I can't recall there being such widespread aurora before down here... the times I've seen it have been a green glow on the northern horizon, rather than (judging by the webcam) pretty much overhead!

I missed the spectacular colours, but that could be my poor pink/green colour vision - people were picking them up with some colour enhancement on their phone cameras.

Given it appeared overhead and even to the south and the fact it's not properly dark the further north you go, I  wonder what the optimum latitude for viewing was? 

And I also don't know what I'm more impressed by - the aurora or the fact it occurred on a clear night? 😮

I didnt even know about this until I read this thread late last night but it was all over. What time did it happen? I was probably in the pub but nobody there mentioned anything. 

Sounds like something Boris would say to his latest mistress!
