"Aurora australis", "Aurora borealis," "Northern Light," and "Southern Light" are called the same name Aurora.
The aurora bright lights collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that land on the earth's atmosphere. The lights are results above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as 'Aurora Borealis in the north and 'Aurora australis' in the south.
Auroral displays appear in many colors, although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet are the results. The lights appear in many forms, from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains, or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow.
The word "aurora" is derived from the name of the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, who traveled from east to west announcing the sun's coming. Ancient Greek poets used the name metaphorically to refer to birth, often mentioning its play of colors across the otherwise dark sky.
Many cultural groups have legends about the lights. In medieval times, the occurrences of auroral displays were believed, as harbingers of war or famine. The Maori of New Zealand shared a belief with many northern people of Europe and North America that the lights were reflections from torches or campfires.
The Menominee Indians of Wisconsin believed that the lights indicated manabadi wok (giants), who were the spirits of great hunters and fishermen. The Inuit of Alaska thought that the lights were the spirits of the animals they hunted: the seals, salmon, deer, and beluga whales. Other aboriginal peoples believed that the lights were the spirits of their people.
