Passenger spots Northern Lights from airplane window: 'Still feels like a dream'. A passenger got a stunning aerial view of the aurora borealis thanks to a perfectly timed flight. The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, is an astronomical phenomenon where curtains of colored light fill the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere. When it occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, it's known as the aurora australis. These natural light shows are most visible at higher latitudes, closer to the Earth's poles, in places like Canada and Antarctica. TikToker and travel vlogger @emilypaigesnyder caught a glimpse of the special moment while flying above Newfoundland on a United Airlines flight. The mesmerizing footage received over 5 million views and 1.1 million likes on TikTok
