The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, the Milky Way, and the moon are appearing in the sky on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand, on August 12, 2024. The Southern Lights are a natural phenomenon of vibrant natural lights. Solar activity, particularly a coronal mass ejection that sends charged particles and gas into space, is causing it. It typically takes these particles three days to reach the magnetic field lines at the north and south poles before entering the atmosphere. Upon entering, the energy and particles are combining with atmospheric gases to create a spectrum of colored lights in the sky.

People depart an overlook in Sheandoah National Park after viewing northern lights in the Appalachian Mountains, Luray, VA, May 12, 2024. Aurora borealis and australis were visible across much of the earth after solar coronal mass ejections caused the most intense geomagnetic storm in the last 20 years.
