I wonder what percentage of people have seen the northern lights in real life

Why are you talking about the Northern Lights? Are people in the Northern Hemisphere just pathologically incapable of thinking about the other half of the Earth.

I am talking about this for the reason that this phenomenon seems magical to many people .. and sometimes I can’t even believe that such things exist on the planet earth .. I don’t speak for people who live in the northern hemisphere .. I speak in general .. for all people

Okay but this is a picture of the Southern lights. Southern.

Not many, but I bet many have seen it and not know what it was. Most of the time, the northern lights aren't as colorful as this. Seen it in Denmark a couple of times and it honestly looked like a mix between the Milky Way (as seen from earth in an area with very little light pollution) and clouds. No color. Only by using my phone was I able to know that it was the real deal.

Almost all the pics you see are nothing like what you can see with the naked eye. Need a long exposure to bring out any colour at all most of the time.
