Seen from the surface of mars

[edit]

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-observes-first-visible-light-auroras-at-mars/

not sure if significant enough to be worth mentioning though.©Geni (talk) 22:12, 14 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Would this image be a good example of the rare red aurora?

Redirect in a footnote seems contrary to MOS

[edit]

The redirect aurora polaris points to this article. However upon following the link one finds nothing about "aurora polaris". At MOS:BOLDREDIRECT we see:

  • After following a redirect: Terms which redirect to an article or section are commonly bolded when they appear in the first couple of paragraphs of the lead section, or at the beginning of another section; for example, subtopics treated in their own sections or alternative names for the main topic – see § Article title terms, above.

Contrary to this guidance our article places "aurora polaris" in a footnote and never mentions the topic in the article.

In my opinion if "aurora polaris" is a notable topic for this article, it should be included in the article introduction, not hidden in an explanatory footnotes. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:57, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

White continuum aurora

[edit]

The last two years have see the discovery of white (can appear grey or pale mauve) aurora with a pseudo-continuum spectrum referred to as 'continuum' - this could be added the both colours of the aurora and special types. ~2026-12776-82 (talk) 14:48, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Pilbara region

[edit]

Hey guys, Pilbara is in the north of Western Australia, so less likely to see the northern lights than Albany and Esperance. I googled this and that seems to check out - if anyone has the time to edit this, would be very helpful or I'll try to return and edit with sources later.
