Bright red and purple Aurora Australis video
Taken from Flinders, this image is part of a timelapse showing Aurora Australis with the rising Milky Way, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Aurora's occur when highly charged electrons from the solar wind interact with elements in the earth's atmosphere. The auroras generally occur around the magnetic poles (not the geographic poles), but in times of high sunspot activity, aurora's can be seen in more mid latitutes. Click through to the thread to watch the timelapse - it's worth it!
