The unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth produced stunning displays of colour in the skies across the Northern Hemisphere early Saturday.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning when a solar outburst reached Earth on Friday afternoon, hours sooner than anticipated.
Photos of the spectacular phenomenon were also captured in parts of the United States, including California, Missouri, and Oregon, as well as other countries such as China, New Zealand, and Australia.
The effects of the Northern Lights, which were prominently on display in the UK, were due to last through the weekend and possibly into next week.
