Today's Talker Solar storm headed toward Earth may disrupt power Big Flare May Bring Major Aurora Massive solar flare flares scheduled to pound hit grids Here comes the sun — again Anonymous speaks his mind sensible cat control plan get your motor running at New Jersey Motorsports Park BEN Column March 7 Update 3 could radio GPS systems ripples sun's surface; storms speed cause electronic mayhem heading spur Biggest in five years Storm Five Years Hit races towards expected disruptions Earth's magnetic field

Massive solar flare ripples sun's surface; storms speed to Earth A powerful solar flare Tuesday evening caused the surface of the sun to shudder. A second smaller flare followed about an hour later, and the blasts caused by those flares have hurled a "big blob of magnetized material" toward Earth. Solar flare races towards Earth, expected to cause disruptions to Earth's magnetic field The largest solar flare in years is hurdling towards Earth at 4 million mph and is expected to hit early Thursday morning. Largest Solar Flare May Create Sky Show The geomagnetic storm unleashed overnight by the biggest solar flare so far this year will not make a direct hit on Earth, but will strike more of a glancing blow early Thursday, forecasters at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo., said this morning. Solar Flare Speeding Towards Earth, May Disrupt Power The largest solar flare in five years is headed towards Earth and could cause problems, according to NASA. Powerful Solar Flare May Be Signal of More to Come An active region on the sun that unleashed a powerful solar flare Sunday (March 4) does not appear to be quieting down, and may have more surprises in store over the coming week, scientists say. Solar storm may disrupt power Solar flare said to be biggest in years heading toward Earth and could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights Huge Solar Flare's Magnetic Storm May Disrupt Satellites, Power Grids This story was updated at 1:19 p.m. EST. Solar storm headed toward Earth An impressive solar flare is heading toward Earth and could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights. Solar flare generates solar storm set to hit Earth A solar storm was due to arrive on Earth early Thursday, promising to shake the globe's magnetic field while expanding the Northern Lights. Big Solar Flare May Bring Major Aurora A major solar flare that occurred Tuesday at 7:28 p.m. EST may yield a substantial aurora borealis (northern lights) over the next couple of nights. Scientists predict another solar flare early in the morning on March 8. It could be the strongest coronal mass ejection since December of 2006 [More]
