Rare and dazzling display of Northern Lights just illuminated Ontario skies Ontario NorthernLights
over Ontario last night, the result of a severe geomagnetic storm that rolled past Earth on Sunday evening, painting our planet's night skies with colourful auroras that were visible across much of the province.
A Coronal Mass Ejection event was recorded at approximately midday on Friday, when plasma and magnetic fields erupted from the Sun's corona on the heels of a strong solar flare. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center states that the resulting geomagnetic storm started just after 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, eventually reaching level 4 of 5 on NOAA's space weather G-scale.
The CME has arrived. Look for northern lights in the north sky once it gets dark but only if the sky is clear enough.
