Northern Lights graced multiple locations in Belgium and the Netherlands on Sunday night, shared in photographs on various social media networks.
Space weather website, Poollicht.be posted pictures of the aurora borealis sighted in Maldegem, a town in East Flanders, on its former Twitter account, now referred to as X.
Tweet translation:What a great aurora evening! These were taken by the founder of @PoollichtBE in Maldegem (Belgium).
Weather site Noodweer Benelux noted sightings of the northern lights in the provinces of Limburg and Antwerp.
Bright and colourful lights also adorned the skies over the central and southern parts of the Netherlands.
The Swiss alpine regions were also treated to this mysterious and rarely-seen spectacle.
Although quite a rare event, the alps had another sighting of the lights on the night of 24th to 25th September.
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, occur when sun-emitted, electrically-charged particles strike the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed, producing bands of pink and green light.
