Aurora Borealis over Nottinghamshire captured in timelapse video | |
(32 minutes later) | |
A photographer has captured the northern lights in a timelapse video. | |
Paul Joels had seen reports that it might be a good night to see the spectacle, so he headed out with his camera to a spot near Sibthorpe, Nottinghamshire. | |
He said: "At first it was a faint pink-red glow in the sky, and green picked up on the camera. | |
"I was only set up about 15 to 20 minutes before the main show started, and was blown away when I saw what was on the back of my camera and phone screens." | |
An aurora happens when charged particles enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with oxygen and nitrogen. The result is a display of green, magenta, red and purple colours dancing in the night sky. | |
