Tsunami of solar flare could cause stunning aurora over NZ on Thursday Newshub 10/12/2020 © Otago Museum The Aurora Australis Keen Kiwi astronomers should cast their eyes to the skies on Thursday night, as a solar explosion could mean a chance to catch a glimpse of the aurora australis. The aurora, also known as the southern lights, is caused by solar flares sending charged particles hurtling towards earth. When the particles collide with atoms in the atmosphere, they create stunning pastel pink, green and purple rays of light. But as beautiful as the aurora is, it s not set in stone. Craig Rodger from Otago University told Newshub although there was a solar explosion on Tuesday, which threw out a tsunami of a coronal mass ejection, it s not guaranteed the lights will make another appearance.
