From aurora borealis to the Milky Way to distant nebulae, cosmic phenomena induces wonder like little else. When faced with distant galaxies and the seemingly endless sea of trillions of stars-a trillion trillion, actually, known as a septillion-the sheer scope is impossible to grasp. The universe's workings may always remain a mystery. So it's no surprise that when peering up at the night sky, whether it's homing in on distant stellar clusters or simply watching the moon rise, photography helps us appreciate its enigmatic beauty.

Parts of the UK could be treated to a display of the northern lights across the night sky tonight thanks to recent solar activity. The Met Office forecast the effects of a coronial mass ejection - a burst of material from the sun into space - would result in the colourful displays across northern parts of the UK from Tuesday evening.
