Comet Joins Colorful Aurora Australis in Tasmanian Sky

A colorful display of the southern lights was captured in Tasmania on February 1, with a comet also visible in the night sky.

Ben Swanson, who captured the timelapse footage here, told Storyful it was the result of using three cameras to capture around 7,000 photos, which were then edited together.

The sequence captures the sun setting, followed by a crescent moon, with the Comet C/2024 G3 streak across the sky, before giving way to a stunning aurora.

The comet was visible from the Southern Hemisphere during January and early February due to its proximity to the sun, and it isn’t expected to be seen again for thousands of years. Credit: Ben Swanson via Storyful
