Last night (Thursday, October 9) residents across the Harrogate district were dazzled with a spectacular display of the Northern Lights. 

Also known as the Aurora Borealis, the natural phenomenon lit the sky up with hues of green and deep pink from around 10pm onwards. 

Both the Northern and Southern Lights are caused when solar winds interact with the Earth's magnetic field, producing flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. 

The UK has seen more activity in 2024 than in preceding years, giving many people a greater chance at witnessing the unusual sight.

Yesterday night, the Stray Ferret asked readers to share their photographs, and we had an overwhelming response. 

We've compiled a selection below - remember, if you've got photographs to share of landscapes and scenery across the Harrogate district, you can send them to letters@thestrayferret.co.uk.
