The Aurora Borealis (better known as the Northern Lights) has made another appearance across the North East - the second one this week.
The solar phenomenon was visible across South Tyneside on Thursday night (Thursday, October 10) and people make sure to capture the moment on their cameras.
The Northern Lights are caused by charged particles from the sun hitting gases in the atmosphere.
They occur around the North Pole when the solar wind carrying the particles interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field.
Take a look through some of the photos submitted by Shields Gazette readers.
