Northern Lights Illuminate Skies Across Midwest Sunday Night

Coloradans will have the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights on Sunday night as the phenomenon could be seen over the northern hemisphere and the northern part of Colorado late into the evening. The best view will be between 10 pm and 2 am away from city lights. The Aurora Borealis is a natural occurrence when electrons from the sun collide with the Earth's upper atmosphere, and this can happen about once a month when solar flares or storms peak.
