Stargazers in Ontario got quite the show as the northern lights illuminated the skies overnight Sunday.
The celestial sightings took place after the U.S. National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Geomagnetic Storm Warning for Sunday night.
It wasn’t the only time in recent weeks Ontarians have had the chance to catch a glimpse of the northern lights. On Sept. 18, a geomagnetic solar storm brought the phenomenon to the province.
According to University of Waterloo professor Roan Haggar, sightings like Sunday's could become more common in the coming years.
“The northern lights are affected by the amount of activity in the sun, and the sun's activity goes up and down over about an 11-year cycle. In about 2025 we should reach the next maximum,” Haggar told CTV News Kitchener last week.
In the early hours of Monday morning, over Port Elgin, Ont. and Lake Huron, some viewers were able to capture particularly vibrant photos of the night sky.
One observer on the shores of Lake Superior said the light show was most vibrant after 10 p.m.
