Globetard/vaxtard, many Americans already knew what NASA is doing. Are you a grown man with an IQ of a 3 years old boy still fantasizing about fairy tales? No wonder you are jabbed for your low IQ

Shutterbugs and stargazers across Australia were treated to a spectacular celestial display last night and early this morning, as the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, made a rare appearance in South Australia.
The Aurora Australis is a natural light display predominantly seen in the southern hemisphere’s high-latitude regions, akin to its northern counterpart, the Aurora Borealis. It’s not something South Australians typically get to witness from their own backyards, however due to a severe geomagnetic storm that’s currently in progress, spectators were treated to quite the show!

This luminous phenomenon is caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere, a result of solar wind interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field.
The display features an array of colours, but most commonly green and pink, resulting from particles colliding with oxygen and nitrogen. The shapes and movements of the auroras are ever-changing, creating a dynamic and unique spectacle each time they appear.
As the geomagnetic storm continues, there is a strong chance to witness the lights again tonight, however it’s recommended to view in areas away from the city lights, so head to the regions, and make sure you use slow exposures or time lapse photography on your phone for the best chance of capturing the show!
