Aurora Australis blankets the sky overhead of the 10-meter South Pole Telescope at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. Like its more familiar counterpart, the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, the Aurora Australis is caused by the solar wind passing through the upper atmosphere. But the Aurora Australis is much less frequently observed because so few people live in Antarctica during the austral winter. Photo #1 by Keith Vanderlinde, National Science Foundation

I certainly like your online site design. It is quite nice and clean, readable however only on personal computer. Try to browse the webpage with apple iphone or Android.
im frequently bouncing on the internet the majority of the night therefore I usually tend to browse considerably, which isn’t normally a beneficial thing as the majority of the pages I see are composed of worthless rubbish copied from different web sites a trillion times, but I gotta say this webpage is frankly readable and also has got some genuine material, so many thanks for breaking the trend of just simply copying other individual’s blogs and forums 🙂
Great Post!! Thank you very much!
