Last weekend, November 10, the Earth's magnetic field was struck by the rapid flow of the solar wind, causing colorful auroras around the South pole. Minoru, Yoneto saw a bright neon glow over the horizon on the way from new Zealand Queenstown.
"We were lucky to see another southern Aurora during my astronomical tour. Our guests were very happy and began to photograph the sky with my cameras," he said Yoneto.
Queenstown is 45 degrees South latitude — at a considerable distance from the South pole. That's why the lights looked red. The Aurora around the South pole should reach a great height above the Earth's surface to be visible in the rest of the hemisphere. At an altitude of over 200 km polar lights turn red. Ruby luminescence occurs when charged particles from space collide with atoms of oxygen in the upper atmosphere. Ionized molecular nitrogen adds to the heavenly palette of shades of purple.
