If you didn't get to see the aurora, there are loads of stunning pics of it on here to enjoy! I got a faint pink glow in a 4 second phone camera exposure, nothing by eye 🤷♀️

Aurora are notoriously difficult to predict, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it'll be visible tonight from Sydney and Perth as well as the southern parts of Australia. With how strong these flares are, there's a chance!

Lots of gorgeous pics of the aurora from the US already, hopefully we'll be just as in Australia and NZ lucky tonight!

Glad you enjoyed the article! It is frustrating to see headlines like that when the science is already cool
