Northern Lights steal the show

Night sky filled with green aurora curtains and a red glow to the right, with stars visible above silhouetted rooftops, power lines, and softly lit houses below.
Night sky glowing with vivid red aurora above and soft green aurora below, dotted with small stars and framed by the silhouette of a leafless tree and rooftops at the bottom.

On an unsettled week, there was one clear event that stands out... the strongest solar storm in over two decades delivered a vibrant aurora overhead.

Reaching as far south as the Alps, the classic green and red hues of solar activity were on show across the UK and Ireland, where gaps in the clouds could be found.
