  • Australia's Southern Lights


    Hey,
    Saw this on the Internet today. It is a time lapse video of Australia's Southern lights, also known as "Aurora Australis" near Melbourne. I never knew they could be found there. I just thought it was beautiful and wanted to share.

    I couldn't get it to play. I didn't know about Aurora Australis. Never heard it being mentioned before.

      Well Diane, it worked OK for me in Scotland..... spectacular, and even showing the 'milky way', thank you.

          Hey All, Elda, sorry you couldn't view this especially since it is in Australia. Ranald, you picked up on the Milky Way immediately. Impressive! Andy, hello and welcome. A minister, huh??? Guess I will have to be really careful what I say!

            It remained blank for a few minutes for me then began to play. The video may need to download to your computer before it will play.

              It did not work for me either, I tried to download off Youtube but it had been withdrawn due to copyright reasons, I guess I will try one last time, but this old computer is quite slow [like me], so I will have to wait and see.

                It is still working for me......

                Right clicking gives some options, also at the end of the video there are two url's, and the lower one takes you to a site, where there are many more of the general theme.

                http://www.twanight.org/newTWAN/index.asp

                Perhaps it can be found there, if not at least the site is worth a look.

                PS Just tried that link, and selecting 'Australia' gives the video, and also some others. I must explore this site a bit more.......

                Let me know if this works ..

                  Gordon, Sorry you couldn't see this either. You had mentioned a "wish list" you needed to make for your daughter. Maybe you could put a new computer on it as well.
