The Northern Lights made a spectacular appearance in Melksham skies earlier this month.
The lights, or aurora borealis, were spotted above Melksham on 19th January as a result of a strong geomagnetic storm, with one resident, Alex Farley, capturing this image.
The sighting was one of many across the country. The last time they were clearly visible in Melksham was May 2024, although some sightings have been reported since.
