well i have seen the Aurora Australis twice, but apparently its a hell of alot less exciting than Borealis. dont get me wrong it was really cool. admittedly the first time was some what disappointing, and the second time i was a very drunk skunk- so i have a blurry memory of it, but it looked some what like this picture just slightly more green than blue.
it went down like this:
sitting on a balcony at a bar in wanaka, nz surrounded by 10 other booze hounds when someone pointed at the beautifully light up horizon and goes, “wow look at that you can still see the sun setting”, his mate went ” you egg its one in the morning, it must be the moon raising”, than another drunkard said ” but the moons over there” while pointing in the other direction. finally the sober bouncer informed us all that it was the southern lights and that we should all shut up and enjoy its glory. sooo, we did :P
still pine to see the northern lights though :)
