The ancient Greeks thought the northern lights were created by a chariot racing across the sky, alerting the sun and moon gods to the new day. To the Vikings, the dancing lights were reflections bouncing off the Valkyries’ armor as the female warriors traveled through the heavens, while the Finns thought the squiggles were the tracks of Arctic foxes, running so fast their furry tails left vibrant streaks of color in their wake. To modern-day travelers, the aurora borealis is a bucket-list item, an elusive natural phenomenon typically glimpsed by only the most dedicated of stargazers.

As the -ber months approach, so do the award contenders, especially as festivals take over cities like Venice, Toronto, and Telluride. (Luca Guadagnino’s Queer and the Selena Gomez-starring Emilia Pérez seem to be making a lot of noise.) But don’t let the ending of summer fool you; there are still more blockbusters on the way, especially with the holidays on the horizon (like Wicked Part 1 and Gladiator II—the same weekend in fact).

Other locations, such as Central Park in Denver, have locked up an extraordinary amount of their merchandise. Customers now must find clerks to unlock products from cases and put them in a locked box to be unlocked at checkout.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
