Can you see aurora (sometimes called the northern lights) in places other than the Earth's northerly latitudes?

Yes, aurora may also be seen in an oval pattern around the Earth's south pole. The aurora in the south are formally called the aurora australis. The aurora borealis in the north and the aurora australis in the south are actually connected to each other by the Earth's magnetic field lines so that when aurora are active at one pole it is usually mirrored at the opposite pole. See, for example, http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/space/SpaceRepublish_403140.htm

Don't forget that even if there were no southern counterpart to the Earth's northern lights we would still have to say there are aurora elsewhere in the solar system. Other planets that have magnetic fields also have aurora, for example, the aurora that have been seen on Jupiter (see http://vathena.arc.nasa.gov/curric/space/aurora/aurofaq8.html). In the solar system in general, auroras are rather common.
