Exempel
The aurora australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a natural light display that occurs in the high-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere.
The aurora australis is a stunning phenomenon that has inspired artists, scientists, and adventurers throughout history, offering a glimpse of the Earth's connection to the wider cosmos.
Like its northern counterpart, the aurora borealis, the aurora australis is caused by charged particles from the solar wind colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere.
The colors of the aurora australis are primarily green and pink, although shades of red, purple, and blue can also appear depending on atmospheric conditions.
The best places to witness the aurora australis are in Antarctica, southern Australia, New Zealand, and other southern high-latitude regions.
