One of the most beautiful things that I hope to see in person before die are the Flowing Auroras. The video below captures this beautiful phenomenon.

Via Astronomy Picture of the Day — Flowing Auroras Over Norway
Auroras are occurring again with increasing frequency. With the Sun being unusually dormant over the past three years, the amount of Sun-induced auroras has also been unusually low.
More recently, however, our Sun has become increasingly active and exhibiting a greater abundance of sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Solar activity like this typically expels charged particles into the Solar System, some of which may trigger Earthly auroras.
