Following a rare solar eruption on Sunday, parts of Canada are experiencing heightened activity of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, a stunning display of colourful hues in the night sky.
Since Monday, the U.S.'s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has sent an alert of a G1 minor geomagnetic storm. This storm occurs when an energy blast from solar wind disrupts the Earth`s magnetosphere, triggering the bright flashes of the northern lights. A G1 storm mainly affects regions further north, however, early morning on Wednesday, G2 levels were briefly reached, increasing the chances of the aurora moving further down south.
Since yesterday, Canadians up north have been capturing the spectacle as shades of green lit up the night sky.
