Captured on the night of October 10, 2024, by Duncan Rawlinson, this ethereal image showcases the vibrant Aurora Borealis illuminating the sky over the calm waters of the 1000 Islands in Ontario, Canada. The brilliant reds, purples, and greens were a result of a G4-level geomagnetic storm, offering a rare and unforgettable display of the Northern Lights across large parts of North America, including locations as far south as Delaware and North Carolina. This natural light show was driven by a powerful solar flare that sent charged particles colliding with Earth’s atmosphere, creating a spectacular, otherworldly scene.
