Aurora Australis Illuminates Skies in Australia and New Zealand

Apr 23, 2020

Parts of Australia and New Zealand were stunningly lit up by the Aurora Australis which took place on April 20. People residing in Tasmania, Australia, and Queenstown, New Zealand, experienced a visual treat as a green glow covered the evening sky.

The Aurora Australis or the Southern Lights takes place when solar particles collide with atmospheric gases thereby emitting blue, purple, red, and green lights.

As a little ’end of season surprise’ in the middle of the night, there was a Northern Lights meet-and-greet. On one picture you can also see a April Lyrid meteor. The light at the Horizon is from the sun. . . #northernlights #aurora #spaceweather #sweden #meteor #aprillyrids #lyriden #nikonphotography #jämtland #jämtlandsfjällen #noorderlicht #poollicht #p4jämtlandbild #rtlweer #rtlweerfoto #smhiväder #norrsken #mirrorlake

Homebound residents from New Zealand's Queenstown to Australia's Hobart were shown a magnificent Aurora Australis light show this week. Aurorae are caused when charged particles from solar wind and solar flares interact with Earth’s upper atmosphere, creating distinctive green and red glows.

Last night there was an #Aurora event, visible from @LoveDunedin.

Staying within my bubble* I was able to find 2 spots on the top of Otago Peninsula @PureNewZealand to view the southern lights through the cloud.#lockdownnz #COVID19nz #NewZealand @NikonUSA @NZGeographic pic.twitter.com/9I9cRuEYZK
