A fast moving solar storm is due to hit Earth today and is expected to cause some communications disturbances for our satellites as well as our mobile and wireless devices on the ground. Find out how it will affect your cell phones, WiFi, and GPS location and traffic services. See some of the latest solar storm chasing pictures of the aurora and learn when to be on the lookout for more aurora. Also see why flare activity might pick up due to unstable active regions 1836 and 1834 and what else the Sun has in store for us during this coming week.
