Savoring Success with Taste Nova Scotia Culinary Ambassador Amy Savoury | SaltWireMOSCOW - Swathes of Russia and Ukraine were bathed in some of the strongest scarlet and green"northern lights" for years on Monday due to solar flares, according to pictures posted on social media and Russian media.

The New Scientist magazine said in September that the northern lights are expected to be stronger this year than for at least a decade due to a surge in activity in the sun.
