A stunning light display has lit up skies in the UK and around the world following a severe geomagnetic solar storm.
The spectacular natural phenomenon was visible in the early hours of this morning across parts of Britain where the skies were clear.
The stunning effect was much more amplified than expected with the Aurora Borealis being seen in the northern hemisphere as far south as Austria and the Aurora Australis seen across New Zealand and Australia.
The light show occurs when charged particles from the Sun collide with Earth's magnetic field.
The storm ranked 4 out of 5 in the scale for geomagnetic effects and is the strongest solar storm to reach earth for 18 months.
Authorities warned the bursts of radiation could disrupt communications and power.
Usually only seen in the Arctic and Antarctic regions forecasters say it would have been possible to view the Northern Lights across much of Northern Europe, Canada and the United States.
Some of the most dramatic images come from the Southern Lights with the night sky in New Zealand and Australia illuminated with pink, purple and green colours.
