LONDON – The skies of Britain and Ireland were painted in green, purple and deep red on Sunday night, as the spectacular auroras, typical of remote latitudes, became visible as south as Kent or Cornwall.
Mr Joel Rabinowitz, 26, left his home in St Albans, a town about 32km north of London, on Sunday night to go to a nearby forest when he heard that the northern lights might be visible across Britain.“I would have never expected that to happen here,” said Mr Rabinowitz, who had taken trips to Norway and Finland to see the northern lights before.Pictures shared online showed a bright green glow that seemed to be radiating from the grassy hilltops of Scotland.
The northern lights were seen across Sussex and Wales; above a cemetery; and from bedroom windows, backyards, a university and even planes.
