AFTER dazzling Northern Lights lit up parts of Scotland overnight on Sunday, another display is on the forecast for Monday night.
The light display, known also as Aurora Borealis, was photographed in the north of Scotland, including in Kinloss in Moray.
The green lights filled the skies above a field near the village and were captured by one lucky photographer.
It came less than one week after one photographer captured stunning scenes of northern lights over the Kilsyth Hills in North Lanarkshire.
The Met Office has confirmed there is a chance the Aurora Borealis will once again be visible from Northern Scotland.
However, stargazers will depend on clearings in cloud coverage overnight.
The forecast reads: "There is the potential for enhanced auroral oval overnight on the 3rd and through the 4th, due to a mixture of fast solar winds alongside low confidence CME arrivals.
"Aurora has the potential to be visible from latitudes such as Northern Scotland given any cloud breaks."
An analysis of the solar activity over the past 24 hours, which triggers the light displays, showed there had been a number of "strong and moderate" solar slares.
Northern lights appear when there is activity on the sun.
Atoms and molecules from the earth's atmosphere collide with particles from the sun, resulting in northern lights.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
