"Social media has once again lit up with the spectacle of aurora australis,
also known as the Southern Lights, as it became visible in some skies across
the southern states last night.

The lights – which aren’t seen outside the south polar region very often – were
last sighted in May, unusually far north in the skies of Australia, New
Zealand, South America and South Africa.

Despite (or maybe because of) their infrequent appearance, the Southern Lights
have long inspired humans. From as far back as early Aboriginal ancestral
accounts, to recent contemporary art, they have continued to ignite our
imagination. Let’s take a look at some examples."
