This week, several regions in the UK may have the chance to witness the Northern Lights due to increased solar activity.
A recent flare from the sun has sent solar material toward Earth, resulting in a "glancing blow" to the atmosphere.
The Met Office's Space Weather forecast suggests that the aurora borealis could be visible on the nights of Tuesday, September 3, and Wednesday, September 4.
Observers in northern Scotland and other areas with minimal light pollution
Are particularly encouraged to look toward the northern horizon for the best chance of seeing this stunning natural phenomenon.
As solar activity peaks, the auroral zone expands, allowing for potential sightings further south than usual.
Clear skies will be essential for visibility, making this a promising opportunity for aurora enthusiasts across the UK
