Good Morning #Canada
If you haven't been living in a cave this week, you know that the #NorthernLights were putting on a show across Canada. As you know, a solar eruption sends billions of tons of superheated plasma into space and traveling at more than 45 million miles per hour it can reach Earth in less than a day. That plasma, drawn towards the magnetic pole, interacts with our atmosphere, and we get a spectacular light show. The Aurora Borealis, named by Italian astronomer Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, is not unique to Canada, but so much of our land is in the Northern Hemisphere that most Canadians have the opportunity to experience it. This is particularly true in the Northwest Territories, where the Northern Lights are visible for 240 days every year on average. The phenomenon has a special meaning for Indigenous Canadians, some of whom believe it shows them ancestors dancing in the sky.

Gorgeous red auroras tonight over the Goldstream Valley in Fairbanks, Alaska. A rare show, strong enough for the red emission to be clearly visible to the eye.

Me watching all you people posting all your cool #northernlights photos from down here in the Tropic of Cancer area:
Aurora showed up in Minnesota again. Worth every numb finger 😊

Can #science and/or #astronomy mastodon explain why they are so vivid this year? I’m seeing them a lot in my timelines and they are all so beautiful.
Yeah I’m TOTALLY NOT JEALOUS AND ROOTING YOU ON #northernlights
Sharing some views of yesterday's #Aurora show over most of North America. Nature never ceases to amaze.
This video in particular was taken in #Missouri

Aurora photos from last night. Near Wildwood Lake State Wildlife Management Area north of Lincoln Nebraska.
Short time lapse from last night. Missed much of the big display. Most of the activity was south of us when I went out there. Short because I wasn't prepared with batteries etc. #Nunavut #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #Aurora #TimeLapse
