This is the aurora australis in New Zealand at the moment! It’s amazingly strong and colourful. 😍

Parts of the UK could see scenes like this, if the activity persists when it gets dark.

Images were taken on a 3-second exposure with an iPhone.

Better photo this time! I’ve waited 2.5 solar cycles to be able to see the aurora from home (10 second exposure)

I am absolutely stunned at the incredible Aurora, what an absolute treat to see this from outside my house in Shifnal, Shropshire ❤️

The winter constellations are on their way out by the time that it gets dark in early April.
Soon, we will lose sight of Orion, Lepus and Canis Major, with Taurus soon to follow.
Bright Jupiter will stand out better in the twilight, but in a few weeks it will also be gone
