A fantastic show of Northern Lights could be seen across the UK and gave Sussex residents a real treat.
The Northern Lights – or aurora borealis – appear as bright, swirling curtains of lights in the night sky and range in colour from green to pink and scarlet. The phenomena is chiefly influenced by geomagnetic storms, of which the Met Office said there was a "severe" one due to reach Earth overnight on 10 October.
People are advised to use a long exposure camera to capture the auroras, as the phenomenon is not always visible with the naked eye. Night mode on mobile phones also work.
SussexWorld readers and photographers have been sending in their pictures and posting on social media – here is a selection.
