THE Northern Lights have once again been spotted in Wiltshire, with this stunning photo showing Stonehenge bathed in the aurora.

On Monday, April 24, the Met Office issued a statement saying that a "strong coronal mass ejection" arrived on Earth, meaning that the Northern Lights were visible across the UK.

Here in Wiltshire, the aurora borealis was seen across the county and was even visible to the naked eye.

Perfect conditions were in place with clear skies creating a night to remember for many avid onlookers.

Nick Bull, known to many online as Stonehenge Dronescapes, took this beautiful photo.

You can see the vibrant purple and orange hues as the lights are captured across the Wiltshire skies, as the famous stones stand tall below.

Aurora is caused by the collision of atoms and molecules in our atmosphere with particles from the sun, according to the Royal Museums Greenwich.

The unique wavy patterns of light are caused by the lines of force in the earth's magnetic field, and the different colours are caused by different gasses - green being characteristic of oxygen, whilst purple, blue and pink are caused by nitrogen.
