Amazing Nature and Galaxy

---

March: Aurora Australis and a roll cloud over Contos Beach, south of Margaret River, Western Australia. Named after the Roman goddess of dawn, the multi-coloured displays of light are rarely seen on the Australian mainland. Colin, a geologist from Perth, said: Everything has to line up. You have to have the coronal hole or solar flare, the moon less than half, clear weather, and you need Australia on the right side of the earth. I actually got all the variations, first of all orange and yellow, then I got some green at the bottom, and then I got pinks and purples, and then at the very end I got red. That's why it's so incredible to chase, because the chances of seeing that amazing colour in the sky is such a reward.
