Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis

Yes, the aurora borealis, or northern lights, has been seen in England, though it is relatively rare. Most sightings occur in northern regions, particularly in Scotland, but there have been reports of the auroras being visible in parts of northern England during periods of strong solar activity. The phenomenon is more commonly observed in locations closer to the Arctic Circle.

In New Zealand, the southern lights, or aurora australis, are most commonly visible from the southern regions, particularly in places like Stewart Island, the Otago Peninsula, and the city of Dunedin. Other locations, such as Invercargill and the Catlins, also offer good viewing opportunities. The best chances to see the aurora occur during winter months when the nights are longer and darker. However, visibility can depend on solar activity and local weather conditions.

Usually within 20° or 30° of the magnetic south pole. Few people live or travel there but the phenomenon has been seen from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile (and of course from research stations on Antarctica).

Gases get excited by charged solar particles, their electrons rise to higher energy levels, when the electrons drop down to a lower level they emit characteristic colored light.

Oxygen emissions give green or brownish-red colors, depending on the amount of energy absorbed.

Nitrogen emissions give blue or red; blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized, red if returning to ground state from an excited state.

Yes there are. They are the same phenomenon as the Northern Lights. It happens at both the north pole and south pole. The Northern Lights can be seen in much of the northern hemisphere and the Southern Lights in much of the southern hemisphere.

What's Tithonus's appeal to Aurora

A natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, usually near the northern or southern magnetic pole and they are formed when storms on the the sun form solar winds, or large streams of charged particles streaming toward the earth.

shimmering curtains of light

Yes you can see the northern lights from Utah but only on rare occasions when solar activity is extremely high. I have personally seen them in northern Utah.

No. The aurora at the South Pole are called aurora australis or would be 'southern lights'.

They do not occur in South Dakota.

From time to time with large CME's from the sun.........the lights can be seen this far down south.

It is uncommon to see the northern lights (aurora borealis) in Tennessee. They are usually visible in regions closer to the North or South Poles where the magnetic field is weaker. However, during periods of strong solar activity, the northern lights can sometimes be seen at more southern latitudes, including Tennessee, although this is rare.

Auroras form in the thermosphere layer of Earth's atmosphere. This is the layer where the gases are ionized by interactions with solar radiation, allowing for the beautiful light displays of auroras to occur.

The Earth's auroras are caused by solar wind particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field, creating a light display in the atmosphere. When these charged particles enter the Earth's magnetosphere and collide with gas atoms, it produces the colorful light show known as the auroras.

None. The northern lights occur far too high above the earth that not even jets, let alone birds, can get close to them.

However, on the land where the NL can be viewed there is a huge variety of animals. Wolves, foxes,hares, caribou,moose, goats, ducks, geese, puffins, orca dolphins, humpback whales, Harper seals

the list goes on.

Auroras can disrupt satellite communication and navigation systems, cause power outages by inducing electrical currents in power grids, and create radio signal interference which can impact communication systems.

Probably the best civilized place would be somewhere up in northern Alaska. You can probably book a flight and a hotel in any city up there.

The particles are electrons and protons from the solar wind that interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere to create the northern lights (aurora borealis). When these charged particles collide with Earth's atmosphere, they give off light, producing the colorful displays we see in the night sky.

The existents is disputable, there have been over 20,000 reported sightings from the New Mexico area, but there is no physical evidence even though the military has released documents that speak of the aurora itself. it states that the aurora runs on APS to fly. APS stands for Alien-Propulsion-System. This could mean the existence of aliens and that the government knows more than they let us know.

because how the light brightens the sky

If the bright light is moving across the sky, it could be a satellite or the International Space Station. If it appears to be a fixed point of light, it is likely a star or a planet like Venus.

Aurora Australis, more commonly referred to as the Southern Lights, don't really do anything. Like the northern lights (Aurora Borealis), they are a beautiful natural phenomenon. For more information, visit www.antarcticconnection.com.
