Making another rare exception re posting Martin's photos here. These are of the aurora borealis, a couple of hours ago, photographed outside our home in Dundee, Scotland.

It was so great to see. We see aurora quite a lot here, but usually much fainter, lower in the sky, and just plain harder to see. We are on the edge of a city so light pollution is an issue. But last night was massive. There may be strong aurora again tonight.
