Live stream the Northern Lights … If you’ve never seen the Northern Lights, now is the perfect time to do it … from the comfort of your own couch. Explore.org and Polar Bears International are live streaming the northern lights from Churchill Northern Studies Center in Manitoba, Canada. Late winter and early spring are the best times to see the lights — so now’s the perfect time. The camera is situated directly under the aurora oval, so you’ll get a really spectacular show. Just tune in anytime between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., which are the darkest hours of night when the lights are at their best. (Prevention)
