Red Aurora Australis

by Leave a Comment

The aurora borealis are the northern lights and it is not uncommon to find some fantastic videos of impressive green and blue aurora borealis on the internet.

Less common are the southern lights or the aurora australis.

By the time we get to red aurora australis we’re watching some pretty rare video footage.

This was filmed in January in 2012 on the Southern Coast of Australia. Enjoy.

Did you know that the ancient Cree, the Native American tribe, talked the aurora the “Dance of the Spirits”.

Have you ever seen any aurora yourself?

Watching the Southern Lights from Space

Perhaps it is because this blogger is in Scotland and much of the international media that makes its way here is based in America but when there are discussions of amazing light shows in the atmosphere the references are always to the Northern Lights. The truth, however, is that there can be as equally impressive Southern Lights.

This photograph was taken by the American astronaut Rob Garen, on the 15th of September from the International Space Station.
