Bright aurora display over Perthshire captured with Milky Way and Andromeda
Original: Aurora 2026-10-10 ...and the Milky Way and Andromeda and possibly the Triangulum galaxy as well, I think. Pretty decent
A strong aurora borealis display was visible over Perthshire and Strathearn in Scotland, with a photographer reporting a particularly bright green arc alongside the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy and possibly the Triangulum galaxy in the same night-sky images. The sighting is being shared by stargazers and photographers pleased with unusually clear conditions.
Why now: A recent geomagnetic storm made the northern lights visible in Scotland, prompting people to share photos.
