Yes. I am going to try and spot this!

[MAZDA Kitten]

Wikkkiddd... seen this a few years ago over the GTA. It was insane

[openuser]

Anyone spotted one yet?

[mEtH]

Hoping to spot it! thinking on driving out to rattlesnake point in milton as there are some dark country style roads over there and up on a hill.

You have to be outside the GTA to see it. I saw it one year but I was on my way to Casino Rama and it was dark and I could barely see it but I saw it. I also saw it near Edmonton and what a difference there is.

i tried to see from down in the niagara region, but i didnt see nything, it was clear and dark, but still, nothing.

[Roconne]

Yeah, Don't think anyone was able to see them last night. Hopefully better luck tonight!

[shu5892001]

I didn't see it... lol

[gabbygenier]

ummm isnt the 49th parallel way north of TO? i know it says it could reach as far as TO but its a long stretch.

for those who havent seen real northern lights, you are missing out. great thing about beeing from up north was that. i have seen some amazing ones before. ill try and find some pics i took

ummm isnt the 49th parallel way north of TO? i know it says it could reach as far as TO but its a long stretch.There is some special solar blast or something like that, which is causing the lights to reach much farther than they normally do. I don't remember the exact details of it though. It has come down this far before, but it is not a common occurrence.

Solar explosion on the sun sent billions of particles to earth. They collide with gas particles in the atmosphere to make the colours. The colours depend on which gas type that the particles collide with.
