Possible Aurora Australis Display Tonight
If you missed last year’s Aurora Australis on May 11, which brightened the night sky with stunning colors, Wednesday, November 12 could offer another opportunity to see this natural spectacle.
Solar Activity and Geomagnetic Storm
The Bureau of Meteorology reports increased solar activity recently, marked by two Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) released from the Sun. CMEs are massive bursts of high-energy plasma traveling through space from the sun’s surface.
When these bursts reach Earth, they interact with its magnetic field and atmosphere, producing vibrant auroras. For tonight, a G4 geomagnetic storm is predicted, with the two CMEs expected to arrive almost simultaneously.
Viewing Tips
- Move away from city lights to dark, open areas.
- Look south after sunset for the best chance to see the aurora.
- No precise timing is available for the display.
- For updates, check Facebook pages like Aurora Hunters United or the Bureau of Meteorology.
- Ensure your phone and camera batteries are fully charged to capture the event.
Good luck and happy aurora hunting.
