So #Iceland decided to put on a little light show.
My camera is pretty poor on this phone so is not really doing these #NorthernLights justice.

Green and a little pink in the night sky above dark hills.
Lots of green in the night sky at late sunset.
A large amount of green in the night sky above a very late sunset.
A swirl of pink and green across the entire sky abivevvery dark distant hills.

Once again it seems the world has been bathed in a glorious technicolour light show overnight.
Once again the UK has basked under coast-to-coast cloud cover.

Aurora alert just woke me up. The fog is too thick here, but if you have a clear few of the sky, it might be worth to have a look outside.

Totally scientific survey about how many Canadians have experienced the #NorthernLights. Non-Canadians are encouraged to participate because we are an inclusive nation. Please boost for national/international coverage.
How many times have you watched the Northern Lights? (Note: I'm in the Two to Nine category)
Never
Once
Two to Nine Times
More Than 10 Times
So many I don't even look up anymore.

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.
