TORONTO – If you happened to be under dark skies this weekend, you may have been treated to a great display of the northern lights.
A coronal hole on the sun is blowing a fast stream of particles towards Earth. We see their interaction with the molecules in our magnetic field as the northern lights, or aurora borealis.

For the past few days, the sky has lit up in the northern latitudes. Fortunately for us here in Canada, we’re in a favourable location to enjoy the display.
So, sit back and enjoy just some of the images people posted online after this weekend’s show. Oh, and you may actually get a chance to see them again Monday night, if the solar storm continues (it’s been strong all day). So if you get the chance, look north. There’s no guarantee, but you may get to see the show for yourself.
