I wonder what ancient civilizations made of the northern lights. Could only have been the work of the gods. If you have five minutes, visit the Astronomy Picture of the Day site and view the Aurora 2012 video. Here's the link. APOD site
It features time lapse video of auroras and one sunset/rise where the sun moves along the horizon, never quite setting.
If you have never seen them, it is five minutes worth spending. Actually viewing them in person usually involves finding a clear night in the north; and a clear night in the north means COLD.
Stay warm between viewings.
