(plural, plural-only) The aurora of the northern hemisphere.
A common and beautiful side-effect of high solar activity is the Aurora Borealis - the northern lights that dance across Arctic skies. […] Ships' logs noted observations of the northern lights as far south as the Caribbean, and telegraph systems across the world were disrupted as electrical currents were induced in the copper lines.
