Heavy Plasma Bolt heading for earth!
« on: January 24, 2012, 01:16:35 pm »
I hope some people here are near the earth poles to witness the fascinating effect of this morning's M9-class solar flare that will be streaming past Earth. On the NOAA scale of radiation storms, this one ranks S3, which means it could, e.g., cause isolated reboots of computers onboard Earth-orbiting satellites.
I could probably witness northern light here in Belgium too, it's too bad the sky will be very cloudy :(
