30. Aurora Borealis
Known as “Northern Lights” to many, the Aurora Borealis is one of the most magnificent and ethereal weather effects known to man. This heavenly light show is only found in the most frozen parts of the world, close to the Arctic areas.

Getting to grips with the precise science behind the Aurora Borealis might take a while, but basically, these shimmering beauties are created by a mixture of gas molecules crashing into solar winds present in the atmosphere. This then forms the illuminating jade wonders we see hovering in the night sky.
29. Aurora Australis
While you definitely have heard about the Aurora Borealis, what do you know about the southside mirroring of this spectacular sky show, Aurora Australis?

These heavenly shimmers occur thanks to the identical causes which form the Aurora Borealis, however, these “Southern Lights” enjoy a single benefit over their northern siblings: they can often be spotted dancing about within warmer climates. That is where the “Australis” part comes in, as members of islands such as Tasmania and New Zealand are often treated to this astral epic. If you are brave, you could even venture forth toward Antarctica to watch the Aurora Australis.
