The aurora borealis dazzled sky watchers in Northern England alongside the Perseid meteor shower.
The aurora on display at St Andrew’s Church, Shotley in Northumberland Stargazers who stayed up late on Monday night were well rewarded, as the UK was treated to a spectacular display of meteors backlit by the Northern Lights. The Perseid meteor shower happens every August, but it can’t always be seen as easily. Clear, dark skies and the aurora borealis made last night’s one to remember, with photographs from last night showing stunning scenes.
Managed to find myself a little church right out in the sticks, it was beautiful. ‘Lovely dark skies, and the aurora was clearly visible in the naked eye, unlike anything I’ve seen.’ He said he was taken by surprise by the strength of the ‘magical’ aurora, saying it reminded him of the ‘one in a lifetime kind of show’ when the UK saw the lights strongly on May 10.
