Globally, Earth's magnetic field was quiet over the weekend, but in one corner of northern Canada the story was different. "On Saturday night," reports Francis Anderson, "the auroras here in Tuktoyaktuk of the Northwest Territories were so bright they cast shadows on the ground and [turned the snow green]!" The phenomenon is called a "substorm" and it gives reason for people of the North to keep an eye on the sky even when the global forecast calls for quiet--like now.

Wow!! Look at the beauty of nature.

What do you think?

I'd love to see this in real life. That last picture sort of looks like a face when you look at it sideways.

You can see the northern lights year round, right? I'd love to see them either way, but it'd be great if It wasn't that cold outside.

I live in south Canada, and we do get them here, sometimes very colorful but nothing like this. These pictures are beyond anything I have ever seen.

If you look at the first two and fourth picture, it kind of looks like radioactive waste is leaking out of the container. Maybe we have a conspiracy here.

Thanks for the reply.

Beautiful

Awesome!
When I used to live in "The Soo" (Sault Ste. Marie, MI) we used to be able to see them once in a while. But nothing like this.

Wow Awesome pics! Thanks for posting! If you go to the site you can enlarge the pics.

Me too!

I'm a little closer north than you are and we get some shows. There has been a few times I've went and looked out the window because I saw something green.

But, like you said, NOTHING compared to these pics.
