Those who have always dreamt of witnessing the Northern Lights could be in for a treat on Thursday evening as the aurora borealis could be visible as far as Edinburgh.
With the natural phenomenon usually associated with colder countries closer to the Arctic Circle, it is known to be seen from a greater distance during different times of the year.
However, the borealis has begun to creep as far south as Edinburgh, with the Met Office's Space Weather arm saying a sunspot region in the southwestern quadrant of the sun had "led to a possible CME (coronal mass ejection)," according to the Mail Online.
