The Northern Aurora (Borealis) is much the same as the Southern Aurora (Australis), except they are at different ends of the earth.

Each time an aurora lights up it is different, as it depends on the numbers of charged particles and how and at what level they collide with the atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's ionosphere. They may show great wavy swirls of green, like gigantic strands of seaweed, or a great red glow, like bushfires over the horizon.
