mothernaturenetwork:  Photo of the day: A glowing burst of green aurora lights up the sky in the early hours of Oct. 1 above Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The light show was the result of a coronal mass ejection that erupted from the sun 3 days earlier. As long, dark winter nights descend on the northern hemisphere, aurora lovers in far north towns and cities will have plenty of opportunity to witness these stunning displays. The peak time to view auroras occurs between 11 a.m. and 2 a.m., and the most active displays occur in the equinox months of September and March.
