Northern Lights +821%

May 9th to May 12th the northern hemisphere experienced the aurora borealis at its most extreme since 2003. The northern lights were visible as far south as Florida as a G5 (aka extreme) level solar storm pummeled Earth's atmosphere. If you missed the show, you're in luck - we're quickly approaching a period of maximum sun activity, which means auroras are likely to be seen with increasingly higher frequency over the next 2-3 years. Click here to see some of the most beautiful shots from around the world.

#ColtSeavers +1.7M%

The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, just hit theaters on May 3rd, but this adaptation of the 80s tv show has been a long time in the making. In it, main character #ColtSeavers is a Hollywood stuntman by day and bounty hunter by night. "With action, comedy, romance, and a pair of marvelously matched stars, The Fall Guy might be the rare mainstream movie with something to entertain everyone," says Rotten Tomatoes. Watch the trailer here.

Nikki Glaser +393%

Comedian Nikki Glaser has been trending since stealing the show during The Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix May 5th. Glaser has made a name for herself over the years roasting other celebrities like Bruce Willis, Rob Lowe, Alec Baldwin, and Justin Bieber just to name a few. Watch some of her highlights for yourself here - just not while you're in the office - roast content is definitely not safe for work. If you're a fan, you may want to check out her ongoing tour, which runs through December as well.
