Norway mass exports Northern Lights to UK

Stargazers were out in force in northern Europe this week, hoping to catch a glimpse of the spectacular showing of northern lights after the most powerful solar storm in six years. The aurora borealis was sighted across the skies as far south as Ireland and England, where people rarely get a chance to catch the stunning light show. A display normally reserved to the northern most parts of Norway.

In Viking mythology it was believed that if Valkyries (Female figures who decided who falls and dies in battle) rode at night, the glistening of their armor created the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), the dancing lights that appear in the night sky.

We'll let you decide if the below picture backs up the Viking's story...
