My pic is the Aurora Australis. I've never seen it, but I would love to.

The Aurora Australis in the picture looks really cool!! I have seen the Aurora Borealis, which I'm pretty sure is the same as the Northern Lights, while standing in Lake Superior at about 10:00 at night a few summers back. I was eight. It was an amazing sight, although it just seemed to be red streaks scattered through the air. I would love to be somewhere expecting it and just be sitting on a hill looking at it....with all the different colors visible, hopefully. I've heard it is spectacular, and I believe it since I was in awe looking at just those red streaks.

Yes they do - At the North Pole, it's called aurora borealis, or northern lights, and at the South Pole it's called the aurora australis, or southern lights. NASA and university scientists looking at the Earth's northern and southern auroras were surprised to find they aren't mirror images of each other, as was once thought - According to scientists, the main cause behind the differences in location appears to be what occurs between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field.

I've seen the Northern Lights a couple of times, once in South Dakota and once in Minnesota.

it's amazing... saw it a couple of years ago in northern minnesota at a friend's cabin. around midnightish. the whole sky got kind of a funky bluish, pinkish color and the lights kinda flowed or pulsed. very, very cool.
