Make sure you look to the skies tonight as a rare solar storm could result in a spectacular display of the Northern Lights.
The aurora will be visible on Friday and Saturday night for all of the west coast of Scotland.
For the best viewing experience, it is recommended to start looking just after sunset or just before sunrise, which tonight are around 9.22pm and 5.14am respectively.
We have a massive solar storm to thank for the opportunity, a celestial event which has not happened on this scale for two decades.
This time it is coming as a result of at least four coronal mass ejections from the Sun, which will see plumes of plasma and magnetic flux released into space in the path of Earth.
The weather is also perfect for viewing, with cloud cover minimal according to Met Office forecasts.
Due to the magnetic nature of the solar weather, the Met Office has also issued an X-ray radio blackout alert for tonight as a result of the solar plumes, which could disrupt radio connection for up to an hour.
