I may have had to shelter by a rock for 15 minutes whilst a hail storm passed today. But it was worth every stinging hit on the face to be greeted by this view as the shower cleared over Binnian. Mammatus clouds: the most dramatic scene I've ever witnessed up the Mournes!

@JAtanackov Yes, every single time. Whether it's a corona above me, or the aurora hugging the Northern horizon, I still get the buzz!

A sneak peek at part of my presentation for the @niscifest "A Beginner's Guide to Aurora Chasing" this Thursday. Glorious science, applied to real aurora data, with lots of photos of nights out watching the sky dance. Tickets:

@Vincent_Ledvina Vincent, why does the data you've posted from DISCOVR look very different to the data I'm seeing?

@Stoxo I agree wholeheartedly! A superb movie on all levels and one I'm happy to return to anytime. Did you ever blog about the movie Begin Again? That's another one I love rewatching with some great music.

Under the sea of fog I love shooting Belfast from on top of Cavehill at night when it's under fog. It's amazing just how dynamic the fog is - as you can see from this timelapse. @coolfm @BelfastLive

One of the iconic H&W cranes of Belfast rises above this week's fog, as seen from Cavehill. And, just to let you know, it was a couple of degrees warmer on top of Cavehill than it was down in the fog below!

@cassidy_rachel @theauroraguy @3DDaniel1 @JAtanackov To me, the fact that it's more elusive here makes the nights when we catch it all the sweeter!
