Northern lights will dance over most of Canada tonight

According to Astronomy North, a non-profit society that collaborates with the Canadian Space Agency, the aurora borealis will be particularly bright in the sky above most of Canada tonight.

According to Astronomy North, a non-profit society that collaborates with the Canadian Space Agency, the aurora borealis will be particularly bright in the sky above northern Ontario, northern Quebec and northern British Columbia, as well as over most of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It will also occur in the southern parts of all three territories.

The best time to look up and catch the show is around midnight local time, according to the Canadian Space Agency.

Of course, whether or not skygazers will be able to see the lights will be dependent on the weather overnight.

Winnipeg and Regina will have clear skies around midnight local time, though temperatures overnight will dip below -30 C.
