Levelgrinder Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Aurora australis seen over Tasmania was 'hands-down best' lightshow in years, photographers say https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-05/aurora-australis-puts-on-light-show-over-tasmania/100596472 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piddy3825 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Wow, that was pretty cool, indeed! Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see an aurora event over a tropical area and according to the news article supposed to get even more intense over the next two years due to increasing solar flares and activity. Lets hope the effects aren't as severe as the reporter made them out to be. eh? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mostly a cold and wet place during most of the year, and is basically the last stop before Antarctica. Its more like Canada than anywhere "tropical".

Did not know that Tasmania was in a temperate climate with 4 distinct seasons and in the southern region as I was under the impression that it was in the northern regions in a more tropical zone. Goes to show you that I shouldn't believe everything that Bill Nye the Science guy says... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Beautiful shots. The ones in TLD always seemed more fantastically multi colored than the ones in real life, from my own experience of seeing aurora in my own country for countless times, but these ones are really vivid Edited November 7, 2021 by Mistral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
