The Northern Lights were visible in the skies above Gedling borough last night.
People from across the borough were snapping incredible photographs of the aurora borealis late on Friday evening.
Aurora watchers predicted that this evening would be a good night to see the Northern Lights because of a combination of clear skies and one of the strongest geomagnetic storms for years hitting the earth.
Such storms increase the chance of seeing the aurora borealis.
According to BBC Weather, clear skies made a sighting possible from most parts of the UK, with people in Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern parts of England having a higher likelihood.
Judging by these photos from across Gedling borough last night – the predictions were spot on.
