The sky above the Central Okanagan danced with pink and green lights on Tuesday evening.

Aurora Borealis, known as northern lights was witnessed by Kelowna and Lake Country residents on Nov. 11.

While the lights were faint in some places, it was more prominent in others. In some places, the lights couldn’t be seen to the naked eye but could be seen through a phone camera.

According to the National Oceanic and Atomspheric Administration (NOAA), the northern lights could be visible again on Wednesday night and possibily Thursday night as well.
