Did you get a chance to see a unique light display from your window last night?
The aurora borealis, or the Northern Lights, is a natural light display of vivid colours, caused by the solar wind in the northern hemisphere of the Earth.
Residents from across the Island shared their photos on our Facebook page - you can see them here.
The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service posted these photos from Douglas Fire Station to its Facebook page:
The Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer also shared his pictures on Twitter:
