The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, put on a spectacular display last night as a result of recent solar flare activity.
The colours illuminated the sky above Airdrie and spread all across Alberta.
Many Airdronians saw and photographed the Northern Lights, and then shared them on social media. Here are a few photos:
