The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, lit up the night sky in several countries around the world on Friday evening.
The beautiful spectacle is a result of electrically charged particles from the sun entering the Earth's atmosphere.
The lights were visible to large swathes of North America and Europe and were a result of an ongoing "extreme" geomagnetic storm, the first such classification since October 2003, according to the U.S.-based Space Weather Prediction Center.
