The Northern Lights could make a showing this weekend, forecasters predict.
On Saturday, January 15, the out-of-this-world dancing lights could be visible above Scotland and the UK.
The celestial display might be visible as far south as the north of England, according to the Met Office Space Weather forecast.
Scots will be able to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights due to increased activity from the sun.
A minor geomagnetic storm is predicted Saturday, reports the Met Office, but there is a slight chance it could be upgraded to a moderate storm.
There's also a chance the lights will be visible Sunday.

What time will the Northern Lights appear?
The Northern Lights will make another appearance on Saturday, January 15.
Solar activity is expected to pick up Saturday at 9pm, leading to a display of the Northern Lights.
In general, the best time to catch the Northern Lights is between 10pm and midnight, according to AuroraWatch UK from Lancaster University.
The Met Office says fast solar winds will arrive Saturday, and with it, increased geomagnetic activity that gives rise to Northern Lights.
The forecast reads: "Solar winds are expected to remain Low until the arrival of the fast winds from a coronal hole. This is most likely to occur on day 3 (15th).
"Quiet geomagnetic activity expected until this arrival, becoming Active to Minor Storm as it occurs, with a slight chance of Moderate Storms.
"Activity then becoming Quiet to Unsettled, with Active intervals and slight chance of Minor Storms during day 4 (16th)."
What are the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights are also known as aurora borealis.
The fast solar winds stem from a coronal hole, which aren't literal holes in the sun. Rather, coronal holes are dense areas of the sun where gas can escape.
"The sun continuously produces a solar wind, made of charged particles that flows outward into the solar system," explains NASA.
"When the solar wind reaches Earth's magnetic field, it can cause magnetic reconnection, an explosive process that allows charged particles from space to accelerate into the atmosphere."
