Meteor shower. Scroll down to August 3rd.

And the Northern Lights. We're getting hit with a mid-sized electrical blast from the sun right now. It should activate the Northern & Southern Lights more than usual.

Northern Lights. I have only seen the vibrant colors 2 times before, just north of Mpls.

When I could see that, even my dad could see them from right in the city.
