There isn't really a schedule of auroras; they happen when a stream of charged particles from the Sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field. Watch the website at spaceweather.com (see the link below) and look for "coronal mass ejections"; bright auroras often follow about 2 days later. But they sometimes are visible without any warning, because the Sun is CONSTANTLY sending out masses of charged particles.
Both aurorae occur around the polar regions. The Aurora Australis appears around Antarctica and the Aurora Borealis appears around the Arctic.
The Aurora Australis is only visible from the southern latitudes and has never been seen north of the 30 degree line of latitude.
The aurora is associated with solar wind activity and is most prevalent at the peak of the eleven year sun spot cycles, and the three years afterwards.
The best places to see an Aurora Australis in the Australasia region would be Tasmania or New Zealand, away from cities and other sources of artificial light pollution.
The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in Antarctica, southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, and South America. The best times to see the Aurora Australis are during the winter months when nights are longer and darker.

Do aurora australis seen here in the Philippines?
yes . my friend says that she see aurora australis here in the philippines but im not sure :)
Can you see the aurora borealis in the southern hemisphere?
NO!!!! However, you can see the 'Aurora Australis' in the Souther Hemisphere. The words from their Latin roots. Aurora ' Dawn/Light Borealis ' Northern Australis ; Southern . NB Oriental ; Eastern Occidental ; Western.
How is and aurora borealis different from and aurora australis?
Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.
Can you see the Aurora Australis from Tasmania?
Yes, it is possible to see the Aurora Australis from Tasmania, especially in the southern parts of the island. However, clear skies, minimal light pollution, and strong solar activity are necessary factors for optimal viewing conditions.
Where would you see Aurora Australis?
Aurora Australis can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere, typically near the South Pole. Popular viewing locations include parts of Antarctica, New Zealand, Tasmania, and southern regions of Australia and South America.

What is the light at the North or South pole?
In the north, you can see aurora borealis and in the south you can see aurora australis.
How is and aurora borealis different from and aurora australis?
Aurora Borealis occurs in northern parts of the world. Aurora Australis in southern parts of the world. Borealis is more known because there are more places and people to see them.
Where would you Aurora australis?
The Aurora Australis are the "Southern Lights" They can be seen in the "low" latitudes of the southern hemisphere.
What is the name of the Aurora in Antarctica?
The Aurora Australis is the name of the natural light display that can be seen in Antarctica, often referred to as the Southern Lights.
Can you see the Aurora Australis from Tasmania?
Yes, it is possible to see the Aurora Australis from Tasmania, especially in the southern parts of the island. However, clear skies, minimal light pollution, and strong solar activity are necessary factors for optimal viewing conditions.

What are the northern light called as?
The phenomenon is called the aurora borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and the aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is The Aurora that is visible in the southern hemisphere?
The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's southern hemisphere. It occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field and create stunning displays of light in the sky, similar to the Northern Lights in the northern hemisphere.
What is another name for the Aurora Australis?
Aurora Australis means "Southern Lights", the opposite to "Aurora Borealis" in the north. (Aurora was the Roman goddess of dawn, (similar to the Greek goddess Eos) and Australis is the Latin word for South.)The Aurora Australis are lights up in the sky that you can only see from the Southern Hemisphere. These silent 'fireworks' you often see on a clear winter night in a variety of shapes and colours! Sometimes the Aurora Australis is over 100-250 km above the ground. The aurora forms huge oval halos of radiation around the earth's magnetic poles.The auroras can disrupt power systems, navigation systems, communications, and more.An Aurora Australis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles collide with atoms of the oxygen and nitrogen gases in the ionosphere and the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.Like the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) but in the southern hemisphere.
Can you see the Aurora Australius from Sai Pan?
No. Sai Pan is in the wrong hemisphere for the Aurora Australis. Sai Pan is way too far south for the Aurora Borealis as well.
