Many of you may have seen the Northern Lights over Exmouth on Saturday (May 10).

Devon Camera Club member Sue Babb shot these stunning pictures of the Aurora Borealis over Exmouth on Saturday night.

Many people across the UK caught a glimpse of this on Saturday, and because of clear skies and fair weather, it was also seen in East Devon.

The Aurora Borealis are typically best seen in areas with high latitudes and are closer to the Arctic, such as Iceland and Scandinavia.

Usually, Scotland is the only part of the UK that is lucky enough to see the wonders of the world. However, even areas of southern England including Kent and Cornwall should be able to see the display tonight. 

The Met Office confirmed on late Sunday evening that "a coronal hole high-speed stream" would be combined with a "fast coronal mass ejection" allowing the Lights to be seen across the UK.

The Aurora is caused by atoms and molecules in our atmosphere colliding with particles from the Sun, according to the Royal Museum Greenwich. 

Adding that the light's wavy patterns are created by force lines in the Earth's magnetic field, with the different colours created by different gasses.

The lowest area of the Aurora is normally around 80 miles from Earth whilst the top could be hundreds of miles above Earth.
