Mother Nature put on quite a show in the North Okanagan over the weekend. Scott Juniper captured a stunning image of the brilliant green Northern Lights near Enderby on the Shuswap River Saturday night. Also known as the northern lights, the spectacular light shows occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth’s upper atmosphere. These collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colorful light. As billions of flashes occur in succession, the auroras appear to move or dance across the sky.
