Astronomy North

Astronomy North is a Canadian non-profit astronomical society for auroras. It was founded as a small club of volunteers in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in 2004.[1] The society collaborated with the Canadian Space Agency to start the AuroraMAX virtual observatory in 2009.[2]

## Website
