How to spot the Northern Lights this weekend

Must read

People across the UK may be treated to a spectacularly colourful display this weekend, as the aurora borealis are expected to light up the night sky.

The Northern Lights, as they’re otherwise known, will be most easily spotted in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England, but people living further South may be able to see them too.

It’s happening because there is intense activity on the Sun right now.
