The Northern Lights will likely be visible to the naked eye in some parts of the UK over the next 24 hours, according to the Met Office.
The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, occur as a result of solar activity. They appear in the night sky as large areas of various colours, including red, yellow, pink, green, blue and violet.
When conditions are just perfect, this incredible sight can sometimes be seen from Britain. And the Met Office is telling people in certain areas to look up later today (Monday, September 16), early tomorrow (Tuesday, September 17) and possibly also tomorrow evening.

Taking to X, the national weather agency said: "Grab your big coat and your cameras as you may spot the Northern Lights this week with clear skies in the forecast. Sightings possible with the naked eye in the north, with a chance of sightings further south - these more likely with a long exposure camera."
The Met Office also shared a time-lapse map showing exactly when you have the best chance of spotting the Northern Lights this week. Midnight tonight seems to be your best bet, with those in northern parts of Scotland having a greater than 50% chance of seeing them.
According to the Met Office website, dark skies "clear of any clouds" are the best conditions in which to view the Northern Lights. The national weather agency explains: "The best conditions to view the lights are when the sky is dark and clear of any clouds. Cloud cover ultimately blocks the view of the light.
"Ideally, the lights will be best viewed away from any light pollution, in remote areas, facing the northern horizon - north facing coasts produce some of the best viewing locations. The northern lights are most active during the Equinox and Solstice in March/April and September/October."
