Colorful Aurora display on Bellhaven Bridge

This week, the Northern Lights have been creating spectacular exhibitions in Scotland and the UK.

Aurora can be seen without photographing equipment in the naked eye, which is rare in the southern region. A witness to Dorset.

This phenomenon is caused by charging particles of gases hitting in the Earth's atmosphere.

This looks like bright, rotating lights in the night sky, ranging from green to pink and scarlet colors.

The best chance to see Aurora on Wednesday is in northern Scotland, although the weather conditions are not ideal.

Here are some photos from all over the country this week.
