The Channel Islands were treated to a rare incredible show of the Northern Lights on Monday night (19 January).
The pinks and greens of the Aurora Borealis, more usually only seen from the most northern parts of the British Isles, were visible in our skies.
The phenomenon is caused by charged particles traveling millions of miles and colliding with gases in the Earth's atmosphere.

The UK Met Office said a coronal mass ejection (CME) - a large eruption of charged matter from the sun - left the sun on Sunday,
It predicted the spell of intense solar activity would bring aurora across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and 'potentially further south' if conditions were favourable.
From around 9pm, social media feeds across the Channel Islands filled with photos from sky-gazers and weather enthusiasts, some of whom headed to local landmarks to capture images of the dazzling spectacle.
