LETHBRIDGE, AB – The paths of trick-or-treaters being lit by aurora borealis? Sign us up!

AuroraMAX, a northern lights observatory, shared an image on Facebook, saying that, “If your region is shaded green on the map, be on the lookout for northern lights Oct 30-31!”

The map showed nearly all regions of the country, including Southern Alberta, shaded in green during the Halloween weekend.

The northern lights were visible in the region just a couple of weeks ago and it looks like we will have another chance to see them.

If you want to view the lights for yourself, AuroraMAX suggests finding a place free of light pollution, as bright city lights make low-intensity auroras difficult to see.
