South Africa may be far south, but some lucky people managed to see the colourful space storm that was more visible to the planet's northern inhabitants, according to the SA National Space Agency (Sansa).
"There were several reports of Aurora Australis, also known as the southern lights, being visible over the southern tip of Africa. Reports of southern light sightings were reported from Gansbaai in the Western Cape and Namibia, among others," Sansa said on Saturday.
