Giant Plasma Blob Arrives Sunday
2012-01-21
A huge sunspot unleashed a blob of charged plasma Thursday that space weather watchers predict will blast past the Earth on Sunday. Satellite operators and power companies are keeping a close eye on the incoming cloud, which could distort the Earth's magnetic field and disrupt radio communications, especially at higher latitudes.

#7  Wowie-Zowie!! We've probably come through one of these events 3 times in the last year...I'm OK provided the AFC/NFC Contests air as advertised tomorrow.
If not, I'll "need" to revert to my normal TV viewing genre, Apache Dancing (at the link below...)

#3  I know the Van Allen belts protect the ISS in its low earth orbit... but I still would not want to be an astronaut on ISS getting zapped by this Blob.

#1  The cause of warming and cooling cycles on earth but there is no money in it for the hucksters and snake oil salesmen. They've got to sell the man-man jive to reap the money, fame and control of the population. Where's the tar and feathers? Rope?
