The incredible natural lights were visible at some points above Hungary, for example at the Pilis Hills near Budapest. The extravagant celestial scenes were caused by explosions on the surface of the sun that generated magnetically charged particles in outer space that collided with Earth's atmosphere. It's rare for the Northern Lights to be visible in Hungary, and it was particularly spectacular in spots where there is low light pollution. You can find out more about what causes these stunning lights here.
Luckily Időkép.hu and some others living in the regions, that were treated to this incredible light display, were able to capture these images for us to enjoy, so that we too can see the Northern Lights over Hungary.
And this is an incredible short video capturing the lights:
