Magnetic storm forecast following giant sunspot flare. “Colorful

lights could dance in the sky this

weekend, as a giant solar storm sends

charged particles crashing into the

Earth. Besides the bright northern

lights, the storm could threaten power

grids and radio transmissions.

A massive solar eruption took place

early Friday, the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration reported.” I keep going out at the peak of these magnetic disturbances but have yet to see the coveted and magical aurora borealis.
