In pictures: Northern Lights dazzle around the world

Large parts of the world got a rare glimpse of the Northern Lights on Friday night, after one of the strongest geomagnetic storms to hit Earth for years.

These events increase chances of the lights being visible, and the last time there was such a strong storm was in 2003.

Here are some of the best images of the lights from around the world.
