AURORA AUSTRALIS (SOUTHERN LIGHTS) FROM SPACE

Aurora Australis (southern Lights) From Space - In this unimaginable shot taken from the International orbiter on March ten, 2012 by Dutch spaceman André Kuipers, we tend to see AN completely exciting read of aurora (the Southern Lights) between Antarctica and Australia.

An aurora (plural: aurorae or auroras) could be a natural lightweight show within the sky notably within the high latitude (Arctic and ANtarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms within the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate within the flux and solar radiation and, on Earth, square measure directed by the Earth’s force field into the atmosphere.

In northern latitudes, the result is understood because the aurora (or the northern lights), named once the Roman deity of dawn, Aurora, and therefore the Greek name for the current of air, Boreas, by state capital Gassendi in 1621. Its southern counterpart, the aurora (or the southern lights), has nearly identical options to the aurora and changes at the same time with changes within the northern auroral zone and is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, South America, New Sjaelland and Australia.
