Example
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.
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.
