AURORA WATCH: A series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) en route to Earth from sunspot 1158 will buffet our planet's magnetic field during the next 24-48 hours. NOAA forecasters estimate a 45% chance of geomagnetic activity on Feb. 17th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

2. Quite frankly, I am a bit more concerned with the Sun turning blue
What the heck is wrong with these scientists? Do they not see this?

It's the biggest sunspot complex of the new solar cycle.

5. My computer guy says this solar flare is causing a lot of machines to go kaput
