Northern lights: Aurora Borealis captured in Worcester skies

The pictures were captured by Lynette Brooks from a bedroom window around the Hallow area between 11.40pm on Thursday, March 23 and 1.29am on Friday, March 24.

The Northern Lights can produce this spectacular light show, which can sometimes be seen from great distances if skies are clear.

This was produced by a strong geomagnetic storm on the Sun.

Lynette Brooks said: "I never ever imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd see them, I'm still blown away.

She nearly gave up and went to bed as it was her first time trying to capture the Aurora.

Lynette Brooks said: "This was my first time trying to capture the Aurora and I nearly gave up went to bed, but James Rowley-Hill on Aurora UK Facebook page gave me a nudge and encouraged me to take one more look.

"I used a Samsung S10+ on Pro mode and adjusted the shutter speed. My first image was quite shakey, but I managed to get the phone on a stable surface and set up correctly. 

"At some points the pillars were very visible to the naked eye, looking like torches beaming mid air to the stars with ripple like movements, there was a very deep red hue to the sky and brightness to the skyline."

According to the Met Office, the distance to the aurora belt, compounded by light pollution or twilight, means it can be difficult for the naked eye to see the phenomenon clearly and it is often portrayed much brighter in pictures than it appears to the naked eye.
