	Aurora Australis - Weather in Antarctica - Antarctic Connection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Aurora is the collective name given to the photons (light) emitted by atoms, molecules and ions that have been excited by energetic charged particles (principally electrons) travelling along magnetic field lines into the Earth's upper atmosphere.
		Known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north, auroras occur in the upper atmosphere of both poles and are occasionally visible from middle latitudes as a dark red glow near the poleward horizon.
		The Aurora Australis is caused by plasma particles from the sun (part of the solar wind) which enter the atmosphere.

	AllRefer.com - aurora borealis (Weather And Climate: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
		The aurora borealis of the Northern Hemisphere is often called the northern lights, and the aurora australis of the Southern Hemisphere is known as the southern lights.
		The aurora is seen in a variety of forms, e.g., as patches of light, in the form of streamers, arcs, banks, rays, or resembling hanging draperies.
		The auroras coincide with periods of greatest sunspot activity and with magnetic storms (disturbances of the ionosphere which interfere with long-distance radio communication).

	News in Science - Auroras dance in unison - 30/10/2001
		The first ever pictures of the northern and southern auroras expanding and brightening in unison have confirmed the theory that auroras occur in mirror image.
		Historical documents from China later revealed that an aurora was observed on the same night, 16 September 1770, in the Northern Hemisphere.
		Since then scientists have conducted ground and aircraft studies of simultaneous auroras but this is the first time they have been able to capture images of both hemispheres at the same time.

	Aurora FAQ
		Aurora Alerts Forum and from various e-mails sent to me. For each question there is a short, one-sentence answer, and a paragraph or two with a bit more explanation.
		Aurora is a luminous glow of the upper atmosphere which is caused by energetic particles that enter the atmosphere from above.
		Aside from the charged particles that cause the light of the aurora, there are currents flowing between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere inside and in the vicinity of the aurora.

		Auroras are caused when high-energy electrons pour down from the Earth’s magnetosphere and collide with atoms.
		Red aurora occurs from 200 km to as high as 500 km altitude and is caused by the emission of 6300 Angstrom wavelength light from oxygen atoms.
		Green aurora occurs from about 100 km to 250 km altitude and is caused by the emission of 5577 Angstrom wavelength light from oxygen atoms.

	Auroras: Where Can You See Them?
		The electrons that create auroras start in the outer layers of the field, where it is compressed by the solar wind.
		The north pole aurora is called the aurora borealis and the aurora at the south pole is called the aurora australis.
		This picture shows the north auroral oval during a major geomagnetic substorm on July 15, 2000, when the Sun was nearing the maximum in its 11-year activity cycle.

	Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights
		As the solar wind interacts with the edge of the earth's magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped by it and they follow the lines of magnetic force down into the ionosphere, the section of the earth's atmosphere that extends from about 60 to 600 kilometres above the earth's surface.
		By studying the auroras, scientists can learn more about the solar wind, how it affects the earth's atmosphere and how the energy of the auroras might be exploited for useful purposes.
		he aurorae appear over the Earth’s polar regions in what are known as the auroral ovals; in the northern hemisphere the auroral oval bulges that much further to the south, the stronger the solar wind is at any given moment.
