Those lucky enough to be up late last night or very early this morning were treated to a stunning light display across our skies.
While not always visible to the naked eye, cameras were able to pick out the various colours of the 'Northern Lights' as the Aurora Borealis was visible from most parts of the islands.
Some of the best photos appear to have been taken from the west and northern coasts, but people living in town and St Martins have also shared photos to their social media accounts.
Lindsey Dean and Paul Thomson shared their photos above, and below with Express.

Very rarely visible this far south in the northern hemisphere, the chance of seeing the Northern Lights was increased yesterday when a strong geomagnetic storm formed.
Both the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued rare solar storm warnings, with such storms increasing people's chances of seeing the lights when combined with clear skies.
While the geomagnetic storm has decreased in strength, forecasters say there are likely to be further sightings of the Aurora Borealis on Saturday night too.
Sky-gazers are advised to wait until at least 22:30 as it needs to be a dark and clear night.
Thanks to Lindsey Dean, Paul Thomson, and Will Green for sharing these images with us:
