The Northern Lights could be seen from one part of Ireland last night, with some stunning photos captured as a result!
The Northern Lights lit up the night across Irish and UK skies last night, March 4.
According to the Met Office, the northern lights are usually best witnessed in Scotland, North England, North Wales and Northern Ireland - but Cork stole a glimpse this Monday night.
According to experts, the natural light display is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with earth’s magnetic field.
The colour display depends in part on what molecules the charged particles interact with.
Red and green colours tend to be hallmarks of oxygen, pink and red the signs of nitrogen with blue and purple being the results of hydrogen and helium.
