It was quite a show last night. Thanks for sending us your photos:
The Northern Lights are caused by collisions between gaseous particles from the Earth's atmosphere and charged particles released by the sun.
Variations in the colours which are visible are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding.
Green is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora.
