One of the world’s most impressive sights has once again returned to the South East, with Aurora Australis once again taking over the sky over Tooradin.

A number of local photography enthusiasts and stargazers alike turned out to the Tooradin Foreshore at about 10pm on Friday 11 October to catch a glimpse of the purple streaks of light.

Caused by large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun’s corona, the phenomenon has wowed stargazers and photographers multiple times this year.
