Here’s what you need to know about spotting the Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, from Victoria tonight.
Following last night’s supermoon, the Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre (ASWFC) has issued an Aurora alert. A geomagnetic storm is currently underway, increasing the chances of seeing the Southern Lights in certain areas.
“Aurora may be observed during local nighttime hours in good observing conditions at high latitudes.”
The last ASWFC alert, issued on October 30, led to sightings near midnight across Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.
Bright and mesmerizing, the Aurora Borealis is a natural wonder cherished worldwide. The true enchantment of the Northern Lights is best appreciated in person.
“Only those who have witnessed the Northern Lights with their naked eyes can truly understand its ethereal magic.”
