Really? My entire life I didn't know anything about the lights and it was actually seeing people on BYC share photos and talk about them that got me curious. I also got curious if they show up roughly the same days I see people mention they do over there, which they often do apperantly. I never knew the trick about seeing them best through a camera and my mind was blown when I figured that out. By now my whole family knows this stuff too and I let them know when they're there Unfortunately where I live has a really crowded horizon line and taking photos is difficult.

The Aurora Borealis is much more widely known than the Australis, because there are more people who can typically see them at the latitudes they usually appear in. They're triggered at the same time by the same events, but can vary in intensity depending on the Earth's axial tilt at the time. Australis is just the South pole, so it's the Southern Lights. Australia, the Southern tip of South America, Antarctica, NZ, PNG, and some other South Pacific islands are really the only places to see the Southern lights unless they're very intense.

I've seen hundreds of Northern lights photos, but I can probably count on one hand the number I've seen from the South. It's on my photography bucket list to make it down there and shoot them myself someday, along with catching thunderstorms in Darwin Bay.

Goats are a pain But I do like my ones

I've talked to my husband about getting goats, but we can't think of a single solid reason other than the vibes. Goats do give off pretty fun vibes.
