Have You Ever Seen Aurora Australis? It Just Lit Up The Australian Sky And It’s As Amazing As Its Northern ‘Sister’
When we talk about auroras, we usually mean the Northern Lights but this time an amateur photographer captured them on the other side of the globe! The stunning color display illuminated Australia’s skies, and Philip Dubbin recorded everything in a dazzling timeline.
Dubbin, 53, is an IT worker by day but one night he headed to the Mushroom Reef in Melbourne, along the Mornington Peninsula. “Watching the aurora is such a relaxing but awe-inspiring sight,” Philip told Daily Mail. “Especially on a calm and clear night – though we don’t get the bright colors by eye unless it’s a huge storm.” That night he even caught a shooting star in the background.
This magical visual phenomenon is described as the southern hemisphere’s own version of the Northern Lights. It occurs when electrically charged electrons and protons speed up across the Earth’s magnetic field and ‘collide’ with neutral atoms in the top layer of the atmosphere.
All of these are so immensly beautiful. The universe's personal style of art.
These are just mesmerizing and beautiful ... The colors are all happy ...(idk if that made sense but that's how I feel )
I like the different colour spectrum. Also ITSSS MEEEEEEEEEE(sorry)
so when are the best times of the year to view this phenomena..?? l live in Melbourne, it would be worth the drive down to the peninsular...
WOW!!!!!! It's our turn in Australia! I had been wanting to see the Northern Lights up in Europe, and now Australia has it too! Beautiful :) love the photos.
Lion fish are beautiful too, if you ignore their poison, lack of natural predation and tendency to wreck havoc on reef ecosystem if their are an invasive species. Same goes for Aurora. It's uncommon in down under for a good reason.
Yes, doesn't the Aurora appearances have something to do with radiation from the sun and the thinning ozone layer? I read something about the norther light being brighter because more radiation was entering the atmosphere.
