flag Southern Australia saw rare auroras in Jan 2026 due to intense solar activity, visible as far north as Byron Bay.

flag The Aurora Australis dazzled southern Australia in January 2026, visible as far north as Byron Bay due to heightened solar activity from the sun’s peak 11-year cycle, triggering strong geomagnetic storms. flag Crowds gathered in the NSW Blue Mountains and other scenic areas to witness the shimmering, colorful light displays, with social media flooded by images—some enhanced by filters or long-exposure photography. flag While the real-life experience was subtler than some photos suggest, the rare sighting underscored the growing frequency of auroras at lower latitudes. flag The phenomenon, typically confined to polar regions, has become more widespread, echoing past awe-inspiring encounters with the Northern Lights in Churchill, Canada.
