Brits will be able to catch a glimpse of the greatest show on Earth tonight.
The Northern Lights will be visible from parts of the UK on Friday night, the Met Office has confirmed, as an aurora forecast map shows where you're most likely to spot them. People in remote parts of Scotland and the North have the best chance of a sighting, according to the forecast. It's most likely to be spotted at about midnight, it added.
While mid-April is usually pretty late to spot the aurora borealis in the Northern hemisphere, a huge flare from the Sun means chances are particularly high tonight. According to the Met Office, a coronal mass ejection - a surge in electromagnetic activity, means a higher likelihood of them coming out.
The aurora borealis occurs when solar winds react with the earth's electromagnetic field, emerging as dancing ribbons of light. The phenomena mainly appears as white to the human eye, but can be green if particularly strong.
Sightings in the UK are rare, but typically happen in the North and Scotland, usually in areas of low light pollution such as the Highlands and Yorkshire Dales. The Met Office says Friday's display will be mainly reserved for people further north than the UK such as in Scandinavia, but may be visible in Scotland especially.
"The arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the sun means that aurora sightings may be possible after dark this evening," a spokesperson said. "Scotland and northern England have the best chance of seeing the #NorthernLights with a good chance of clear skies too."
