Is the Aurora Borealis?

The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is Latin for "northern dawn" since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties. The cause of the aurora is charged particles from the solar wind, accelerated by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atoms in the upper atmosphere causing them to glow as they release their surplus energy.


What can you see in the sky from earth's north pole?

From the Earth's North Pole, you can see the northern stars, the northern lights (aurora borealis), and the sun moving in a circular path around the horizon during the summer months. The North Star, Polaris, is also visible at the center of this rotation.

Whats the Name of Solar Magnetic storms?

I think you are referring to Aurora (phenomenon), a luminous atmospheric phenomenon. It is named specifically, according to its location, aurora borealis (northern lights) or aurora australis (southern lights). The term aurora polaris, polar lights, is a general name for both. The aurora consist of rapidly shifting patches and dancing columns of light of various hues.

Is Polaris A a Red Giant?

No. Polaris is a multiple star system. In the late 18th century it was resolved into two components, Polaris A and Polaris B. Later, Polaris A was resolved further into Polaris Aa and Polaris Ab. Neither Polaris Aa nor Polaris Ab are red giants. Aa is a supergiant and Ab is a dwarf; both of them are spectral class F ("yellow-white").

Where in Australia can you view Aurora australis?

No, you cannot see Polaris, the North Star, from Australia, which is in the southern hemisphere. In fact, it would be difficult to see Polaris from anyplace south of about 10 degrees north latitude, because objects close to the horizon are difficult to see.
