On August 5th we had a geomagnetic storm, with high speed particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetosphere. This generated strong auroras in the Edmonton region. See the images our users managed to capture!

Bill Trout sent us this really great image captured during the recent red alert (click to enlarge)

Olivier du Tré again sent some great images in from the Cochrane area of this large event (click to enlarge):
