Thanks to Paul for these pictures of the Aurora last night from the Abingdon Rugby Club. Amazing!
Huge bursts of energy from the Sun hit Earth’s magnetic field, causing a beautiful light show with colourful streaks across the night sky!
For those of us who missed it last night, there could be another chance tonight. The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is rarely seen as far south as Abingdon.
What time was that?
Michael these were taken between 23.:30 – 00:00
Pictures taken about 23:30 Friday night
We have seen them once before here in approximately 30 years.
We once pulled off the M40 at Gaydon to see them, that was possibly a better show with the naked eye
