The Northern Lights Shine Across The UK!

The Northern Lights form from when large numbers of electrically charged particles at high speed, stream in towards the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with air particles. The air fills up with produces a magnificent glow in the sky. The resulting colours reflect which gases we find up there. The most common is a yellow-green colour which comes from oxygen in the atmosphere. Take a look at these spectacular pictures taken by spectators of the Northern Lights:
