Southern Lights of Invercargill
“Aurora Australis” lights up the Invercagill night sky in brilliant displays of pinks and greens like a chiffon curtain gently blown by the wind. These lights otherwise know as the Southern Lights and are visible when the sun has increased magnetism in the earths atmosphere.
The lights are formed close to the planets poles where the magnetism of the Earth is at its peak (“Aurora Borelis” for the North Pole). Stronger events caused by a solar event occur every 11 years or so which means that the Aurora Australis are visible as far north as Auckland .
The lights are created by the earths’ magnetism and the charged particles in the atmosphere dancing together. The light that is produced is seen to dance across the sky in or shoot out similar to a searchlight.
Head to Invercargill on a clear night to see if you can catch one of these natural light shows.
