Aurorae are one of the most impressive views of a night sky and they are very famous to be an event that not all the skies can host.
They happen in fact around the polar regions, both in the northern and southern hemisphere taking respectively the more common name of northern and southern lights.
The curvy movements and the lightness in which they fly across the sky is a really hypnotizing and fascinating sight that cannot leave even the most heartless apathetic man without a "wow" on his lips.

Solar eclipses are natural phenomenons that occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring the latter.
This event is so strange and unnatural in everyday life so that it can only astonish or amaze all living creatures. Studies have shown that also animals react strangely to solar eclipses. Most of their behavior is driven by the absence of light, in fact, depending on the animal, usually they prepare to sleep.

The midnight sun is a quite surreal phenomenon that happens in the northern or southern latitudes near the polar region. It is nothing more than having sunlight, with the unusual thing that it is midnight.
What is stunning, though, is that (it depends on the latitude and the season) the sun does not set, but remains still on the horizon before rising again and giving sleepless "nights" to visitors.

A starry sky is always a very relaxing and touching view, and often, if we spend some time to contemplate it, when our eyes are well adapted to darkness, we could spot some steady "white clouds" between the stars.
Fortunately that is no premonition of rain, because those clouds are well beyond the Earth's atmosphere. That is the Milky Way, no less than our galaxy!
