When aurora hits in the UK, it’s normally seen on the northern horizon. But on May 11th 2024, arguably the best Northern Lights display the UK has seen hit with a combination of Coronal Mas Ejections from the sun combining to produce a G5 storm. This meant aurora was visible right across the sky in all directions like you may see in Iceland - and right above me was the corona pulsating with bright colours… an incredible sight to the naked eye. Taken in Askam-in-Furness, Cumbria.
