Did you spot the Southern lights?

NSW residents also got a glimpse, as well people in parts of Western Australia and Queensland, while Tasmanian and South Australian residents enjoyed the full aurora experience.

The auroras, sparked by solar eruptions, paint the sky with brilliant, colourful lights.

Saturday night saw the first solar storm to be categorised as “extreme” since October 2003.

A coronal mass ejection is the result of plasma being released into a solar wind, caused by eruptions on the Sun.

On Earth, these geomagnetic storms light up the sky with 'dancing' or 'waving' colours, especially seen in the Northern Hemisphere’s Aurora Borealis.

We’d love to showcase your photos of this phenomenon in Wednesday’s edition of the Riv. Please send them in.

Send your images to editorial@riverineherald.com.au and include the photographer’s name, location and when it was captured.
