Northern Lights: Timelapse captures mesmerizing Aurora Borealis in P.E.I.

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, danced across the skies in Canada on May 10. In P.E.I., local photographer Barry Burgess set up a timelapse to capture the stunning colours that filled the night sky near Cavendish overnight. Did you see any shooting stars?

The mesmerizing spectacle is due to electrically charged particles from the sun entering the Earth's atmosphere.

The lights were visible to large swathes of North America and Europe and were a result of an ongoing "extreme" geomagnetic storm, the first such classification since October 2003, according to the U.S.-based Space Weather Prediction Center.
