Summary at a Glance

THE Northern Lights are set to dazzle the UK again tonight, with some areas having a 90% chance of seeing the Aurora.

Aurora Borealis, AKA the Northern Lights, are normally only visible in the northernmost parts of the UK.

Vikings in Scandinavia believed that the lights were a sky bridge connecting Gods with the Earth, where Inuits believed the lights offered the power to speak to dead relatives.

On Tuesday, the Northern Lights danced across Scotland but experts have warned that 8pm tonight will be an even better night for spotting them.

Ahead of the light show, the Met Office have released a map which reveals where the lights are expected to appear.
