Northern Lights shone bright over parts of NL last night!

A geomagnetic storm interacted with Earth’s upper atmosphere last night and made for some stunning scenes across much of the Province. I’ve put together a photo gallery showcasing many of the photos shared with me via social media and the Sheerr Weather app.

The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, happen when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth’s atmosphere near the magnetic poles. These collisions release energy in the form of shimmering light, which often appears as green, pink, or purple waves dancing across the sky. They’re most visible on clear, dark nights at high latitudes.

The lights may be visible again tonight (September 2-3, 2025), but current forecasts indicate they will not be seen as far south as last night.
