Londoners got a rare chance to see the aurora borealis overnight Thursday as the colourful, natural phenomenon appeared farther south than usual.
Michelle Dzialakiewicz said she was watching television Thursday when she checked Facebook and saw a couple of aurora lights Facebook groups she belongs to light up with activity.
After checking a live data site to confirm the aurora was visible in the London region, Dzialakiewicz says she travelled just outside the city limits north of London to take in the view between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Dzialakiewicz described the display as “incredible.”
“Yesterday, they were a very faint green and I could see a little bit of pink,” said Dzialakiewicz on Friday, adding it is easier to view the colours through a camera than with the naked eye.
While it was not the first time Dzialakiewicz had seen the northern lights, she says Thursday night’s display was the strongest she had ever seen them this far south.
“You could see them moving in the sky and dancing. But as soon as you put your camera or (held) your cellphone up, the colours come through.”
