I live up here in Northern Ontario. Last night I was out with my friends trying to get a good look at some of the nebulae and other cellestial objects when out of nowhere the entire sky explodes into a bright green dancing light. The Aurora Borealis. I understand how the Aurora Borealis works and how it is created but I would like to know how such a magnificent display can be manifested on such a scale. The entire sky was lit up ranging from light green through blues to reds. Was there a period of extreme solar activity yesterday or was it just our position relative to the sun? (Summer here so pole is directed slightly to the sun.)
