A phenomenon usually associated with the Earth’s polar regions wowed skywatchers in the UK and Ireland on Sunday, February 26, when the northern lights were visible as far south as Cornwall.

Video shot by photographer Ben Brotherton shows the vibrant aurora in the sky above Herefordshire, England.

The Met Office said the aurora borealis would likely be seen on Monday night too. Credit: Ben Brotherton via Storyful
