Canada's northern lights are coming to the rest of the world, thanks to a new webcam being launched by the Canadian Space Agency. The space agency has teamed up with partners in Yellowknife and Calgary to develop the AuroraMax website for which webcams set up around Yellowknife will capture real-time images of the aurora borealis. A Canadian Space Agency spokesperson said the AuroraMax live streaming feed would begin after dusk, around 9:30 p.m. MT (11:30 p.m. ET). A colour "all-sky imager" is the main camera behind the AuroraMax live feed. Two digital cameras with fisheye lenses are also being used on occasion.
