Victoria and David Beckham are enjoying the Northern Lights!

The power couple shared their reactions to seeing the Northern Lights in photos posted on Instagram Friday, May 10, as the spectacular, colorful display,  known as aurora borealis, reached the U.K. and Europe.

In a photo shared on Victoria’s Instagram Stories, David, 49, was snapped marveling at the purple-pink lights as he stood on a stony path outdoors gazing up at the sky with his arms outstretched.

“Aurora borealis #northernlights,” Victoria, 50, wrote in the caption, tagging her husband.

“This is incredible!!!!” She added as she posted a second close-up photo of the lights beaming across the sky.

Last month, the designer went viral in a video captured by her husband from her 50th birthday party in London on April 20 as she reunited with her Spice Girls bandmates Melanie “Mel B” Brown, Melanie “Mel C” Chisolm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell Horner to perform at the bash.

Speaking about the unexpected reunion on Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 8, David said, “It’s actually been 12 years since they did the Olympics in the U.K. but over 15 years since they actually were on a stage together. So obviously having them all there that night, and I didn’t expect them to all get up on stage.”

“But I had a whole video planned where me and my kids recreated the “Mama” video,” he explained. “My son, who plays the guitar and sings, had a song, and he sang “Mama,” and all of a sudden all the girls got up — and I’m their biggest fan, you know? I tend not to tell my wife that. I tend to tell her that I fancied her, but she was a Spice Girl. I love that about her… So I was a fan.”
