Aurora Borealis

So my mom runs into my room and she's all like "LOEL COME SEE LIGHTS" so I looked out my window and bam there they were.

they didn't look all colorful like that though, these ones are a light yellow/white color, but they're clearly visible in the sky where I live right now and I suspect they're fairly rare to see so I thought it was neat to see them.
