DESCRIPTION
Aurora Tour in Canada: An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles in the high altitude atmosphere. Canada is an ideal place for aurora-watching, as its land expands into the Arctic Circle. From west coast to east coast, there are many great spots for watching the aurora borealis.

What is Aurora?
What is Aurora?
An aurora is a natural light display in the
sky particularly in the high latitude
regions, caused by the collision of
energetic charged particles in the high
altitude atmosphere.
Auroras are associated with the solar
wind, a flow of ions continuously flowing
outward from the Sun. The Earth's
magnetic field traps these particles, many
of which travel toward the poles where
they are accelerated toward
Earth. Collisions between these ions and
atmospheric atoms and molecules cause
energy releases in the form of auroras
appearing in large circles around the
poles.

1619, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei
created the name “Aurora Borealis”

Goddess of Dawn (Aurora).
Aurora normally has following colors:
• Red: at the highest altitudes
• Green: at lower altitudes
• Yellow or Pink: a mix of red and green
• Blue: at the lowest altitudes

When are the chances?
When are the chances?
So far, science cannot accurately predict the
exact timing of aurora displays on Earth,
however, aurora forecasts can be provided by
monitoring space weather and sunspot
activity.
These forecasts indicate the potential for
auroras and its best viewing is in the hours
just before and after midnight.
If the weather is clear, chances are good
that aurora displays between late August and
mid-April in Canada, and best from December
to March when nights are longest and the sky
is darkest.
