Stunning footage shows an aurora dancing in the night sky over Manitoba in the early hours of Saturday, June 6, as northern lights were visible across parts of Canada and the United States.

The photographer, RJ Roldan, told Storyful he captured the footage in South Indian Lake at around 1:30 am.

“The display occurred as the northern lights moved directly overhead, creating the illusion of green rays bursting outward from a single point in the sky,” Roldan said. “The rare ‘corona’ effect transformed the aurora into a giant crown-like pattern above the community.”
