THE Northern Lights appeared in the sky last night, and some spectacular images have been captured near Glasgow.
Dozens of photos captured the aurora borealis in and around the city on Monday, with an array of colours including purple, green and blue lighting up the night.
The Met Office Space Weather forecast previously told of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) arriving at Earth around 1300UTC on Saturday, August 10 leading to minor to moderate geomagnetic storms and the Northern Lights being visible across the UK over the weekend.
Here are some of the spectacular pictures of the Northern Lights in and near Glasgow.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
