What Are the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are colorful light displays in the sky caused by solar wind interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles from the Sun collide with gasses like oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere, emitting bright lights that seem to dance across the sky. The shows tend to be most active and visible closer to the magnetic poles, making Winnipeg an ideal location to spot the Lights.
When Can You See Winnipeg Northern Lights?
Winnipeg Northern are often most visible around midnight in the winter and spring when the skies are darkest. They can appear anytime from 10 pm to 3 am. While the Sun's solar activity drives the intensity and frequency of the Lights, the phase of the moon also plays a role. The darker the sky, the brighter the Aurora will appear. The new moon is the optimal time for viewing dazzling shows.
