Recent solar flares have created the potential for a spectacular display of the northern lights across the UK this weekend.
The aurora borealis is expected to be most visible in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England, but could be seen farther south due to intense solar activity.
To maximize your chances of witnessing this breathtaking spectacle, find a location with clear skies and minimal light pollution, looking northwards.
The best time to observe the shimmering green and purple lights is late at night, typically from 11pm onwards.
