    The Northern Lights were visible over the Harrogate district last night.

    The Met Office said the aurora borealis would be visible further south than usual last night and tonight.

    Sally Margerison, who lives on Harlow Hill, captured this fantastic photo of the astral phenomenon.

    The light show occurs when electrically charged particles from space enter the Earth's upper atmosphere at high speed. It may be visible again tonight over the district.
