Look up! The Aurora Australis Could Be Visible From Melbourne Tonight
Here’s what you need to know about catching a glimpse of the Aurora Australis from Victoria tonight.
A Celestial Event Underway
Following last night’s supermoon, the Australian Space Weather Forecasting Centre (ASWFC) has issued an Aurora alert confirming an ongoing geomagnetic storm.
"Aurora may be observed during local nighttime hours in good observing conditions at high latitudes."
The previous alert, issued on October 30, led to sightings around midnight in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.
How to See the Southern Lights From Victoria
- Look for clear, dark skies away from city lights.
- Peak viewing times are during local nighttime hours.
- Higher latitudes improve the chances of sightings.
The Magic of the Aurora
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is a breathtaking natural display that captivates those lucky enough to witness it. Likewise, the Aurora Australis offers Victoria residents an extraordinary chance to experience similar wonder.
"Only those who have witnessed the Northern Lights with their naked eyes can truly understand its ethereal magic."
Prepare for a dazzling show if the skies are clear tonight.
