    Aurora and rare moonbows light up the night
    Published

    Jamie Fraser photographed the Aurora Borealis from Nairn

    The Aurora Borealis could be seen in the skies from parts of Scotland overnight.

    Also known as the Northern Lights, the displays are linked to activity on the surface of the Sun.

    The aurora is caused by the interaction of solar wind - a stream of charged particles escaping the Sun - and Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

    When weather conditions are favourable, Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland offer some of the best places to observe the aurora, or Northern Lights as the phenomenon is often known.

    Moonbows, also known as lunar rainbows, are a rare sight. This picture was also taken by Andy Walker at Durness


    Moonbows were also spotted overnight.

    Also known as a lunar rainbow, the rare optical phenomenon is caused when the light from the moon is refracted through water droplets in the air.

    It's a great picture - never been to New York - is part of Central Park heated or is that just some clever photo-editing?

    Obviously undersoil heating...<laugh>

    I was in NY in 2011 Christmas week and we visited the 'Top of the Rock' on a crystal clear blue sky day with temps at -5C, the view was amazing, around 50 miles to the horizon. We got some great photos of Central Park and the whole skyscape, I'll have to find out where they are. I do remember that evening being in an Irish Bar (surprise, surprise :grin:) and watched us lose 0-2 to ManUre, shortly before Warnock got the bullet...
