The Northern Lights could be making a rare appearance in Scotland's skies, as a red alert has been issued for this evening.
AuroraWatchUK has said that a fantastic display of the natural phenomenon will be "highly likely" above Scotland - and other parts of the UK - tonight.
The red alert is AuroraWatchUK's highest signal, so keen stargazers should be turn their eyes upwards for a chance to see the Aurora Borealis.
September-March is the peak time to spot the Northern Lights in Scotland, but due to poor weather conditions, it often isn't possible. Unfortunately, this may be the case again, as clouds are currently covering much of Scotland's skies.
For the best chance of catching a glimpse, it's best to travel to an area without any light pollution. They're best seen in a completely dark sky, so trying to see them in a city with lots of light may not be possible.
Usually, Nordic countries are the best for spotting the Northern Lights, but some places in Scotland are just as good due to their high latitude.
The beautiful waves of light are caused by electrically charged particles from space zooming into the Earth's atmosphere at incredibly high speeds.
The particles actually come from the Sun, and they're released during solar storms. When they become trapped in the Earth's magnetic field, they're pulled towards the planet and become very hot as they do so.
The 'wavy' lines that we see are caused by the lines of force in the Earth's magnetic field, making for a stunning phenomenon that has wowed people for centuries.
