Just like(就像) the northern (北部) hemisphere (半球) ’s Northern Lights, the southern (南部) hemisphere has the Southern Lights that also appear(呈现) at night and also are called auroras (极光) .

就像北半球的北极光相同，南半球的南极光也呈如今夜间，也被称为极光。

Auroras (极光) happen when particles (粒子) in the

earth’s atmosphere (大气层) hit(磕碰) with particles (粒子) coming (来) from the sun’s atmosphere. You can see the amazing (惊奇) auroras (极光) all year but the best time to see them is during the spring and autumn (秋天) equinoxes (昼夜平分时) .

当地球大气层中的粒子与来自太阳大气层的粒子磕碰时，就会呈现极光。你全年都可以看到令人惊叹的极光，但观看它们的最佳时刻是在春分和秋分时刻。

A camera recently(迩来) filmed(拍照) the big bands (带状物) of colours passing over(在…上面) New Zealand. People also saw the Southern (南部) Lights in Australia, America and Europe(欧洲).

particle (粒子

) (a little piece(块) of energy(能量)),

the spring and autumn (秋天) equinoxes (春分) (the days exactly in the middle of spring and autumn (秋天) ).
