People in parts of Scotland will likely be able to see the Northern Lights this weekend, earlier in the year than usual.
Normally it isn't until autumn or winter that the aurora borealis can be spotted in our country, but several places across the country experienced the colourful phenomenon on Thursday night, including as Caithness, Moray Firth and Dundee.
Scots have now been told to keep an eye on the skies on Friday, due to the fact that a number of explosions on the sun are due to hit the earth later today. This will result in what is dubbed the Northern Lights.
