Space Weather
Images.
The first time I ever remember
seeing the Aurora Australis (southern lights) was back in March 2001.
I had no idea what to expect when they became visible, or even that they
could be seen from where I lived. The experience was simply amazing, and the
pursuit of the lights has now become one of my favourite aspects of
astronomy. The images below hint at what they are like, but cannot tell of
their true beauty or the sense of awe they can induce when seen in person.
