"Giant Blue Rays – A Possible New Form of Aurora.”
Presentation by Ian Cooper Saturday June 12 at 7pm
A chance collaboration by Australasian amateur aurora photographers has revealed
what appear to be extremely tall auroral rays that exist close to the edge of the
Antarctic continent but can be seen from great distances. Early triangulation work done
with photos taken from Western Australia to New Zealand simultaneously suggest
that the rays are several hundred kilometres across and a staggering 4,000 km tall!
