People all over Scotland and the rest of the UK were treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights over the past weekend, with countless people able to catch a glimpse of the lit-up night sky.
But if you missed out on seeing the aurora borealis, don't panic - there could be another opportunity to see them, and soon.

This is because the Sun remains very active and could fire off another coronal mass ejection towards the earth - which is what causes the aurora to appear.
Jim said: "At the moment, we know there is at least one more heading in our direction, but it’s not yet clear how whether it will hit Earth and if it does it’s unlikely to have as powerful an impact as the one that arrived on Friday. We can’t rule out more displays of the Northern Lights in the next few days, but for now it looks like last weekend’s activity was the main event.
"Events of the size we saw at the weekend typically occur every couple of decades, but that is just measure of statistical likelihood. The Sun is currently at the peak in its 11-year cycle of activity so further solar storms powerful enough to push the aurora toward the south of the UK are still very possible in the coming weeks and months."
This was echoed by by Greenwich Museums astronomer Greg Brown who advised that another storm could approach in the coming days - although it was almost
