Aurora Borealis have been sighted across the UK, including on the Yorkshire Coast.
We've collated some of the best pictures from last night's geomagnetic storm on our social media.
The spectacular skies were visible as far south as Kent and Devon.
Many enjoyed them in our area too, including overlooking Whitby Abbey, Scarborough's South Bay and in Filey.
There's more on our Facebook page.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
