According to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, there 
might be a chance that the Aurora Borealis is visible tonight.   I think 
they mean in the northern part of the U.S., but apparently a large 
coronal mass ejection (CME) is headed towards Earth ... and it's the 
first one in a good while.   So I wouldn't necessarily stay up tonight 
just to see it, but if you're up anyway, take a look.  It's supposed to 
arrive early 8/4 (tomorrow morning) ... if anyone gets out and sees it 
... I certainly hope they call me!
