Interesting photo of both Borealis and Australis. Auroras (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1621000/1621406.stm)

Hmmm, the title of the link "Auroras" doesn't seem to be in a different color on my monitor.

Very beautiful pictures MHS, and also an interesting article thanks David.

Being someone who lives in Melbourne, its disappointing to see by that picture that we're only a smidgeon too far North too enjoy the Aurora Australis which is in fact mostly wasted over the Southern Ocean, but it does look quite concentrated over NZ, which is something I'd never before realised.
