There's a northern lights live cam where you can watch the dancing aurora borealis from the comfort of your own home and there's a chance you might even see meteors.

The stream, put on by Polar Bears International and explore.org, is live once again.

The best time to see the show is between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. ET.

The camera is located in Churchill, Manitoba, which is directly under the aurora oval, making it one of the best spots to watch the northern lights.

Late winter and early spring are considered the best times for the aurora borealis to shine, so February and March are good months to watch the stream.

Towards the end of January, the live cam also caught a meteor streaking across the starlit sky near the lights.

If you're looking for other celestial events this year, there's a lot happening.

Canadians will be treated to three eclipses along with consecutive supermoons in 2021.
