We live in Monticello, Minnesota.  Last night my wife received a call from out friend Chialing.  Chialing was so excited.  Even though I was about five meters away from my wife, I could hear Chialing's voice on the phone: "Go outside!  Look up in the sky!"

We went outside, and we were lucky enough to get a really good view of the Aurora (the Northern Lights.)  Every once-in-a-while they shine down over Minnesota, but they usually aren't as bright as they were last night.  It was pretty amazing.  It was like there was a green/blue misty curtain blowing in the breeze while hanging over the sky.

Apparently there is a good chance that we'll be able to see the aurora again tonight.  I recommend to all of you living in Minnesota that you go outside and look up at around 8:00-9:00 tonight.  You might see something spectacular.
