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.

While Canada is well known for its accomplishments in space — including building the robotic arms used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station — the country still has no ability to launch its own satellites. This week, Ottawa committed nearly a quarter‑billion dollars towards changing that.

It’s an enduring stereotype that Canadians are unfailingly nice, quick to apologize even when they have done nothing wrong. But an online urban legend claims the opposite of Canada’s soldiers, painting a picture of troops so brazen in their brutality that international laws were rewritten to rein them in.
