The aurora borealis, which is most-commonly seen in the skies over the Earth's most northernly regions like Scandinavia, could potentially appear in Scotland this weekend.
The dazzling natural phenomenon, also known as the aurora borealis, shows the night sky coloured with intense hues of green, purple, and blue. It is usually only observed in the skies of far northern regions such as Scandinavia.
According to experts, two solar flares were observed erupting from the sun earlier this week. Hammond stated that much of the coronal mass ejection is expected to bypass our planet. The significant X9.05 solar flare is set to impact areas in Africa, the Atlantic Ocean, and eastern South America. Spaceflight meteorologist Nick Stewart has confirmed that a major X-class solar flare is "in progress."
