Northern Lights
Arctic sky dance
The Northern Lights is the aurora borealis treated as a proper noun—the spectacular light show visible in polar regions when solar particles collide with atmospheric gases.
The capitalized form often appears in tourism contexts and titles: The Northern Lights are on many travelers' bucket lists. (Lowercase northern lights treats the phenomenon as a common noun.)
