Aurora Australis means "Southern Lights", the opposite to "Aurora Borealis" in the north. (Aurora was the Roman goddess of dawn, (similar to the Greek goddess Eos) and Australis is the Latin word for South.)
The Aurora Australis are lights up in the sky that you can only see from the Southern Hemisphere. These silent 'fireworks' you often see on a clear winter night in a variety of shapes and colours! Sometimes the Aurora Australis is over 100-250 km above the ground. The aurora forms huge oval halos of radiation around the earth's magnetic poles.
The auroras can disrupt power systems, navigation systems, communications, and more.
An Aurora Australis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles collide with atoms of the oxygen and nitrogen gases in the ionosphere and the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.
Like the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) but in the southern hemisphere.

The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis
