Largest Solar Flare of The Year...

We are not expected to recieve a direct blow, but the aurora borealis will be visible to a much larger area than normal.

 

There is speculation about what it could do but it seems as though we won't know till it hits or rather just before....

You need to know that after reading this I spent about a half hour wikipediaing space stuff and ended up finding that we're gonna try to send up a balloon to end up on Titan. It will take it about 7 years to get there. Thanks for helping to expand my knowledge.

Not to worry, the earth's magnetic field deflects most of the radiation anyway.

 

You could always back up your data to an external hard drive and put it in a lead-lined safe if you are worried.

I meant on seeing it in person, btw why not using [/media] tags or at least the link in normal form?

Like this:

I notice links get deleted :S

 

however I'll keep that in mind thanks...
