The mesmerising light show, which is not visible to the naked eye, was experienced Tuesday night which saw residents trying to take photographs with their phones.

While not as strong as the technicolour display in May, which was due to the strongest geomagnetic storm in more than 20 years, the colours still made impressive viewing.
