De splendides aurores boréales ont accueilli l'été (PHOTOS)

Quelle façon spectaculaire d'amorcer l'été!

Les habitants d'un peu partout au pays ont eu l'occasion d'apercevoir de splendides aurores boréales dans la soirée de lundi. Et ils n'ont pas manqué de prendre une bonne quantité de jolies photos!

Une série d'éruptions solaires (éjections de matière coronale du Soleil) est à la source d'une tempête géomagnétique et de ce lumineux spectacle.

Un spectacle qui s'est présenté au lendemain du solstice et de l'arrivée officiel de l'été. Nous prendrons cela comme un signe du bel été qui nous attend!

Voici 16 splendides images des aurores boréales:

Now I can say I've seen a Major Aurora show from one of the most beautiful place on Earth. Shot at 2 am last night in @tourismtofino. #tofino #aurora

From last nights #solarstorm . although the kp index showed Aurora well into the southern united states, the #solstice made the night more like dusk and washed out the majority of the #auroraborealis. #laclabiche #travelalberta #northernlights

The northern lights were dancing above our farmyard last night June 22, 2015 near midnight. Spectacular blues, greens, purple, and red colors flowed like waves across the sky with more movement than I've seen for some time. It was an awe-inspiring event that I can't imagine growing tired of. #exploresask#color#blue#green#red#purple #wapellask #northernlights #auroraborealis #lights #nightshot #north #night#nightlights#prairies#prariesky#exploreca #prairielandscape#southeast #saskachewan #sask#canada#aurora#longexposure #timeexposure#saskhiker

Nothing like starting off the summer with a good ol' geomagnetic storm. ✨
