During the peak of the Perseid meteor shower of Aug. 12, 2000, an unexpected auroral display erupted over Colorado, creating a rare opportunity for Coloradans to see Perseid meteors streaking through the colorful Northern Lights. There is little chance for an auroral display over Colorado this year, but the Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a magnificent show early Wednesday morning before dawn.
