If we can get a brood of 13-year cicadas going, we might have a chance at making this happen before the oceans evaporate under the expanding sun.

4 of these things actually happened this year, in New England too (where Randall at least used to live).
We had perfect clear skies for the eclipse in Maine, then a couple months later had visible Aurora on a clear night as well. All while the cicadas were around, though they weren’t very loud in my area.
Not all on one day, but pretty lucky in a year. My 6 year old’s expectations for celestial events are set pretty high now though.
