Sky-gazers and shutterbugs across much of Canada were treated to a spectacular display of northern lights Thursday night and into Friday morning. The stunning light display was a result of an Earth-facing coronal hole on the sun and solar winds, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The NOAA issued a geomagnetic storm watch early this week as result of the hole on the sun and a coronal mass ejection on Sunday. The result of the suns activity produced auroras over northern skies, where a display of green, purple and red danced over much of Canada. If you happened to miss Thursdays light show, theres still a chance for another show overnight Friday, according to NOAA. Heres a look at some of the incredible photos shutterbugs shared on social media.
