[Leica] Major solar storms

[Adam Bridge <abridge@mac.com>]

Since we were talking about auroras etc I would be remiss in not pointing out
that a huge solar storm is brewing and auroras are possible, almost expected,
for most of Canada,  southern Australia, New Zealand, and perhaps the northern
tier of the US. Of course the other usual suspects will enjoy the show also.

is a great source, as always.

If things get REALLY intense it can mess up satellite communications, power
distribution, and cause the space station astronauts to seek shelter.
