Lucky Donegal!

An astronomy expert says there's a "good chance" we'll be able to see the Northern Lights over Ireland this weekend.

While countries like Iceland and Norway often see the natural light display known as aurora borealis, it's a rare phenomenon here.

Editor of Astronomy Ireland magazine, David Moore, told the Irish Independent that we should keep an eye out on Saturday night:

"There is definitely a good chance, we never know with these things. We're hoping it would be visible.

"Certainly over Donegal as the horizon looks over the ocean where there's no facing lights.

"We haven't had a good one in years so this could be the one."
