#aurora borealis is putting on a show in parts of the UK right now - pop out and take a look! Why not send pics to weatherpics@bbc.co.uk? LG

Too cloudy here

Sadly can't see it from here either (Glasgow)

That's incredible

Travelled right through Norfolk tonight and I didn't see nothing

We never get to see anything decent :bored:

All we get is the police helicopter searchlight :fist:

Taken at Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven. Best display since 2004.

why is it doing that?

Solar wind from the sun hitting atoms in earths atmosphere, the polar magnetic field directs them to the poles and sometimes they come down and pay the UK a visit.

Magic, got it

bloody hell Kizzy,what you done now:hugesmile:

I love Dunnottar Castle, last time I was there was in summer with my mum :love:
