The Aurora Borealis, also referred to as the Northern Lights, illuminated the night skies across several parts of Europe yesterday (May 10, local time). The natural light show was seen from countries including the UK, Russia, Netherlands, Romania, Poland, and Northern Ireland. This widespread sighting was triggered by a geomagnetic storm that passed through Earth on the same day. The spectacle painted the night sky with vibrant shades of green, purple, and blue.
