Shimmering curtains of light, known as the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, dance in the skies north of Weyburn early on Wednesday morning. The phenomenon was the result of a powerful solar flare hitting the Earth, classed by NASA as an X-class sun storm, the most powerful type of solar flare. This solar flare has the potential to interfere with radio communications, GPS signal and can even disrupt power grids. The bright light in the lower left corner is an oil battery installation just off Highway 35 north of Weyburn.
