Northern Lights: Further sightings from the Isle of Man

Skywatchers from the Isle of Man have been given a treat this week.

Further photographs, taken by David Gregory, show a spectacular sky over the Point of Ayre last night (Wednesday).

The lights, or Aurora Borealis, appear when atoms in the Earth's high-altitude atmosphere collide with energetic charged particles from the sun.

Other sightings have been reported in Peel, the west coast and Ramsey.
