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!
