A couple have shared the incredible image they captured after spotting the Northern Lights shimmering in the sky over the Yorkshire coast.
Nicole Carr and Simon Scott, who operate stargazing sessions at Dalby Forest under the name Astro Dog, rushed up to the cliffs looking over Jackson’s Bay in Scarborough to get the picture. It proved to be an incredible setting with the Aurora Borealis putting on a stunning natural display as fireworks went off around them. The couple, who described themselves as ‘aurora chasers’, took up their spot looking over the North Sea with their dog Luna, whom their business is named in honour of.
“Initially the skies were mostly covered by clouds. However, after a short while the clouds soon started to dissipate, and the skies began to clear. A beautiful blanket of stars began to emerge from behind the clouds, we were treated to views of constellations, asterisms, star clusters, several meteors and to add to this, the aurora burst into life lighting up the Northern sky. You could even see the light from the aurora reflected in the sea.
