People all over the UK have been treated to a stunning Northern Lights display this week with another glimpse potentially on the way.
The Aurora Borealis, which is caused by solar storms on the surface of the sun, created dazzling light displays in the night sky with many people keen to catch a glimpse of the phenomenon.
It was one of the most impressive displays in recent years, and people were quick to share snaps of the dancing neon-like lights as they lit up the dark skies.
They were particularly bright in Scotland and even certain parts of England and Wales, and if you didn't get the chance to see them earlier this week, you might still be able to spot them tonight (February 28).
According to the Met Office, the recent geomagnetic activity that caused the Aurora this week is expected to ease off slightly this evening.
But minor storms still remain possible until as late as March 1, and there may be limited Northern Lights in the far north of Scotland - but not as far south or intense as previous nights.
The Met Office forecast states: "Recent geomagnetic activity is expected to ease during 28 Feb, however further minor geomagnetic storms remaining possible, and perhaps early on 1st Mar. Limited aurora to the far north of Scotland or similar latitudes, but not as far south or as intense as on the previous nights. Activity then easing further with the aurora fading to background levels."
So if you live up north, it might be worth taking a final look at the skies tonight for the best chance of spotting the beautiful phenomenon.
Best way to catch the Northern Lights
While it's still possible that they will appear in the skies tonight, it's not for certain - and some things can make the Aurora Borealis more difficult to spot.
For your best chances of seeing them, it's advised that you travel to an area away from light pollution, as the bright lights of a busy city can ruin the possibility of being able to see the lights in the skies.
Royal Museums Greenwich says that dark and clear conditions will make the lights more visible, as well as limited light pollution, so you may need to travel to a more secluded location if you want to catch a glimpse.
Lancaster University's Department of Physics runs a website called AuroraWatch UK, which estimates the likelihood of an aurora being visible based on geomagnetic activity. To stay tuned with any updates, it's worth checking the site which will let you know how possible it'll be for the lights to appear.
