Winnipeg, Manitoba – A video posted on X by Brent Schreyer on September 15, 2025, shows the Northern Lights glowing above the city on September 14, 2025.

The 14-second time-lapse captures vibrant green and purple lights moving across the night sky. The spectacle was linked to heightened solar activity during the solar maximum phase around 2025.

Winnipeg is not typically located in the main auroral zone. However, strong solar events can push the Northern Lights farther south, making this display an unusual and remarkable occurrence for the region.

Experts had predicted enhanced auroral activity during September 2025. Schreyer’s footage confirms these forecasts, providing a striking example of how the solar cycle impacts visibility of the aurora.

Brent Schreyer commented on the event, writing: “Some of the beautiful Northern Lights tonight. Pretty sure that last pics a space ghost.”
