The southern lights, or aurora australis, is a natural phenomenon that occurs on Earth. It occurs when charged particles from the Sun collide with the Earth’s atmosphere near the southern poles.
These particles, mainly electrons, interact with atmospheric gases, creating a luminous spectacle in the night sky. The aurora australis is characterized by the appearance of bright and dancing colors, such as greens, reds, and violets, illuminating the darkness.
It is a fascinating and beautiful phenomenon, which can often be observed in regions near Antarctica during clear nights with little light pollution.
