Aurora Australis in Antarctica!

Πάντα ζήλευα τους επιστήμονες που ζούνε κανα εξάμηνο μέσα στο σκοτάδι στο Νότιο Πόλο και δουλεύουν στον εκεί σταθμό! Αυτές είναι μερικές πρόσφατες φωτογραφίες από το νότιο Σέλας, εκεί!

The Southern lights - Aurora Australis as seen from the South Pole station, Antarctica on Jul. 14, 2011
Robert Schwarz,  Amundsen-Scott wrote about the photos on Spaceweather.com:

I didn't expect anything big happening, especially with the moon pretty full, but then there was one of the best auroras I ever seen, a light conveyor belt of rays and spirals, so fast moving that even this 2.5sec exposure is washed out. Absolutely amazing. The picture shows the SPUD microwave   telescope on the left.

Aurora Australis - Antarctica

Aurora Australis lights up the night sky over the Australian research station of Casey in the Australian Antarctic Territory, 16 March 2007. The new glacial ice Wilkins Runway situated 65kms from Casey will allow Australian scientists to greatly expand their studies on the effects climate change is having on Antarctica’s fragile environment by providing 20-30 flights from Hobart each summer.
