A spectacular lunar eclipse will see the Moon glow burnt orange on Saturday afternoon - but only if the weather holds.
A MeteoGroup forecaster predicts adverse conditions mean there will be a 50% chance of seeing a full eclipse from the Shetland Islands.
Between 2.06pm and 2.58pm the northernmost tip of the UK may be able to witness the Sun, Earth and Moon falling almost exactly in line, giving the moon an orange hue.
Fingers crossed, should be fantastic.
