AustraliaAnomalous pink and purple aurora observed in Tasmania due to geomagnetic storm
An unusual pink and purple aurora was recorded on the east coast of Tasmania, described as a direct manifestation of a severe geomagnetic storm.
Background
Auroras are natural light displays in the sky, typically seen in high-latitude regions. They are caused by disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere due to solar wind. Geomagnetic storms, which are major disturbances, can lead to auroras being visible in lower-latitude areas, such as Tasmania.
