The Northern Lights have brightened the Cambridgeshire skies this October.

On Thursday 10 October 2024, the Northern Lights lit up the night sky with people across Cambridgeshire getting a rare glimpse of the phenomenon.

Also known as Aurora Borealis, it occurs when charged particles collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere around the magnetic poles.

You can see lots of photos of the Northern Lights taken by Star Radio listeners here.
