One of the best chances since spring to spot the Aurora Borealis will unfold Monday night across Canada and parts of the US. An eruption on the sun over the weekend blasted charged particles into space, and they are on a collision course with Earth. When the charged particles reach the planet, it will set off a colorful display of the Aurora Borealis. People as far south as Pennsylvania, Indiana, Nebraska and Oregon could see the green or red glow of the aurora in the sky on tonight.
