What makes thousands of people stay up all night, driving to remote locations, squinting at the sky, and obsessively checking space weather forecasts? The quest to see the Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis, has developed something of a cult following — forging a substantial community of scientists, awe seekers, astrophotographers, and nature lovers. In this illuminating session, we’ll explore the science and the magic of auroras. We’ll learn why Tasmania is one of the best spots on earth to witness this dazzling phenomenon, hear from the founder of Australia’s largest online aurora enthusiast community, then join two passionate astrophotographers on a visual journey through their most extraordinary aurora hunts.This is a companion talk to the Southern Nights photography exhibition.
