Solar Storm Strikes Earth's Magnetic Field
The Sun's surface erupted with a series of solar storms this week, sending a barrage of electrically charged particles crashing into the Earth's magnetic field. So far, the solar blasts have caused only minor disruptions to terrestrial communications systems. But more solar eruptions are on the way over the next few days. The Sun is mid-way through an 11-year solar storm cycle that can have a major impact on activities here on Earth - and in space.

The other night, apparently around peak CME Impact time, my Dish Satellite , DSL, and my<br>LinkSys wireless G router all crashed at the same time, didn't loose power for<br>a second. Shortly thereafter, all came back to life except my Wi-Fi router...<br>ALL the lights come on,(which, normally, they are not supposed to) but it is TOTALLY dead...<br>don't know if it's just happenstance, <br>food for thought..<br>Clearskies!<br>MB
