Aurora Borealis will be visible 'across the very far north of England , Scotland and Northern Ireland tonight ' It follows sightings last night in Dundee , Hopeman in Moray and the Shetland Islands .

The dazzling light show is due to a geomagnetic storm a disturbance in Earth 's magnetic field caused by a violent ejection of charged particles from the sun.
