Well honey, strap in because I'm about to drop some knowledge on you. The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis for you fancy folks, can only be seen in certain places because they occur near the magnetic poles of the Earth. So if you want a show, you better head on up to the Arctic Circle or down to Antarctica. These lights ain't making a cameo at your local Starbucks, that's for sure.
