The Northern Lights Were Visible Over Ireland Last Night And The Photos And Videos Look Unreal

A few times every year we are lucky enough to see social media light up with photos and videos of the Northern Lights being visible across the northern part of Ireland.

Last night was one of those nights.

This was the scene in Donegal where Kenneth McDonnagh captured this time lapse video of the lights...

The photos were absolutely unreal...

This is what they looked like in Northern Ireland along the Antrim coast...

Of course the further North you went the stronger they got. Which is why Finland looked unreal as always...
