Hej Hej, welcome back to another minecraft episode. Today we will be learning about Auroras, specifically the Australis. First of all lets talk about how Auroras are made.
We start at the sun, which from afar looks relatively peaceful until you get a closer look at it and see that it is vomiting something called a coronal mass ejection or cme for short which is just a massive heat wave in space. It travels through space at 9 million k/ph, and when it hits Earth nothing much happens for 2 reasons - the Earth's magnetic field and the ozone layer. The Earth's magnetic field is strong enough to push these mass projections of the sun into another direction so that it goes around the Earth and anything that gets through the magnetic field would die out from the protection of the ozone layer. But the particles that don't get deflected by the magnetic field can go to the north and south pole causing nothing much but the energetically charged particles that came from the blast to ruffle up the oxygen and nitrogen atoms, to get all excited for some visitors and then to start glowing making an Aurora.
