The Northern Lights could be visible in parts of the UK tonight, including Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England and Wales.
Also known as the aurora borealis, the lights are the result of particles from the sun being carried on solar winds and then interacting with the Earth's atmosphere after being channelled to the polar regions by the planet's magnetic field. According to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, different gases have different effects on the colour of the display.
Green indicates solar particles interacting with oxygen, while purple, blue or pink hues are caused by nitrogen. According to the Met Office, a "combination of fast solar winds" and the "recent arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun" made conditions optimum over the weekend.

If you want to increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights, you should head to an area that has clear skies and is free from light pollution. You won't need any special equipment as the lights can be seen with the naked eye very clearly.
Unfortunately, Greater Manchester's weather forecast suggests we might not get a great view of the lights. Heavy rain is predicted until around 6pm, with cloudy skies forecast for the rest of the night.
