The Northern Lights lit up Dutch skies last night: Here’s what it looked like

If you stayed up late last night, you might have been one of the lucky ones to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights right here in the Netherlands.

Yup, as RTL reports, the aurora borealis once again made a stunning appearance over large parts of the Netherlands last night — and they were visible to the naked eye. 🤩

A fascinating show

Usually, you’d have to travel far north to places like Norway or Iceland to witness the Northern Lights. But last night, the magic happened right here in the Netherlands! 

Take a look at these gorgeous captures: 

How do the Northern Lights work?

The Northern Lights are a rare and spectacular natural phenomenon.

They occur when electrically charged particles from the sun, known as solar wind, interact with the Earth’s magnetic field.

If you missed the show this time, don’t worry! While the Northern Lights are tricky to predict, there’s always hope for another surprise show.
