The Aurora Australis Could Be Visible from Victoria Tonight
Aurora Alert for Victoria
The Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre has issued a new alert about possible activity from the Aurora Australis. This notice comes after sightings of the Southern Lights earlier this month.
Recent Developments
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the Centre released a warning for increased geomagnetic activity due to two incoming coronal mass ejections. These solar events may create visible auroras over the next two evenings.
"Two coronal mass ejections are expected to impact the Earth within the next 48 hours, possibly resulting in significant geomagnetic activity and visible auroras during local nighttime hours."
Where and When to Watch
- The Aurora was last seen on November 8 and 9 in several areas of southern Australia.
- Previous alerts mentioned successful sightings around midnight in Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, and even parts of New South Wales.
- Locations farther south have the greatest likelihood of observing the display.
