Pictures: Northern Lights captured over Roscommon
The Northern Lights which were captured by Edwina Guckian over Arigna.
Some wonderful images have been captured of the Northern Lights which appeared over County Roscommon and Ireland on Monday night.
Aurora displays happen when charged particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere around the magnetic poles.

They are most commonly seen over high polar latitudes but can spread south and are mostly influenced by geomagnetic storms which originate from activity on the sun.
These images of the lights over Arigna were captured by Leitrim woman, Edwina Guckian.
