The Northern Lights could be dancing across the skies this Friday due to a blast of solar wind, predicts the Met Office.
Those lamenting the end of summer may be cheered up by the prospect of aurora borealis season. The cosmic display is best seen from late September, and given Scotland's high latitude, there will be several chances to see them over the colder months.
One of the earliest opportunities comes this weekend. The Met Office's space weather forecast has predicted a greater chance to view the Northern Lights from September 30.
