What's this?

Visit this page daily to see last night's incredible aurora!

Featured videos: our “Top Ten” collection of the most beautiful auroras.

Choose a date: an aurora is captured almost every night. You can go back in time and pick any available day.

Note: the AuroraMAX observatory does not operate from May to mid-August, since the midnight sun in Northern Canada prevents us from seeing most auroras during the summer months.
