• This lighthouse sits on top of a commercial building on Franklin Avenue in Yellowknife. A sign at the Tourist Information Centre reads, \"A Northern Lighthouse is a specially designed community space weather beacon that indicates when conditions are right for geomagnetic storms caused by the solar wind. When the beacon is glowing green or red, overnight conditions will be normal or stormy, which means there is an excellent chance of seeing active auroras above Yellowknife!\"
