On the night of November 11th, the Aurora Borealis descended upon the Central Okanagan — a phenomenon born of solar storms colliding with Earth's own magnetic breath — painting the skies above Kelowna and Lake Country in shades of pink and green. It is a reminder, as it has always been, that the cosmos does not wait for an invitation before making itself known. NOAA forecasts suggest the display may return Wednesday and Thursday, offering those who missed the first act another chance to look upward and feel, briefly, the scale of forces that dwarf our daily concerns.
