Weather watcher photos from across Northern Ireland show the dazzling lights.
The Northern lights, known as the Aurora Borealis, dominated the skies as they made their return to Northern Ireland on Thursday night.
The Northern Lights appear as bright, swirling curtains of lights in the night sky and range in colour from green to pink and scarlet. The colours occur due to different gases in the Earth's atmosphere being energised by the charged particles.
