The Northern Lights look set to make an even bigger, brighter appearance across Irish skies tonight - if weather conditions allow.

That is according to Astronomy Ireland Editor, David Moore, who says "if the predictions are correct, then we expect tonight to be the big event. Last night was just the prequel, the calm before the storm," he said.
