People in Heysham, Lancashire, were treated to these vivid pink, red, and green hues<\/p>\n

Parts of north-west England were treated to a dazzling display of the Northern Lights, with local photographers quickly snapping what they saw.<\/p>\n

The lights, formally known as the Aurora Borealis, are the result of solar eruptions sending particles towards Earth, and the subsequent interaction of those particles with the Earth’s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

And forecasters said there is a good chance of seeing them again later.<\/p>\n

According to the UK Met Office Space Weather forecast,<\/a> the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights or aurora on Wednesday night will be across the northern half of the UK. <\/p>\n
