Forget your phone and TV — for the next two weeks, all you have to do is look up at the illuminated night sky for some pretty killer entertainment.

The dazzling, springtime zodiacal lights, which form a pyramid-shaped glow in the sky, will emerge from March 14 to 28, according to National Geographic. You're not going to want to miss this scene on the western horizon, especially if you live in the Northern hemisphere where it can be seen at its best.

The phenomenon occurs twice a year—once in the fall before sunrise (when it's known as false dawn), and once in the spring about an hour after sunset (when it's known as elusive dusk). Both of the times that it occurs, it's due to sunlight being reflected off dust particles in between the planets. It's so bright and widespread that you don't even need a telescope to see it, according to Pop Sugar.

Astrophiles, grab your best camera and a blanket, and head to your favorite stargazing spot next week for this must-see event.
