Just a miniscule glimpse for me last night across the Devon fields.
More exciting was the huge splash of a beaver in the adjacent river.

We could see it here in Stockport, unfortunately I missed it but some great photos on Facebook taken by neighbours.

I do not like these at all, a massive solar explosion, ejecting a monster amount of radiation into earth. Strong enough to penetrate the earths magnetic shield. Dangerous, with consequences

Really?

I’m just sick of everybody seeing them except me! envyenvy

We enjoyed the spectacle in East Yorkshire.

Something I never expected to see in London but there it was from a bedroom window. It was very faint with the naked eye but much brighter with my phone camera.
