Well perhaps you should be, Scientists have discovered a method of interpreting records of geomagnetic activity which they are sure will allow them to predict solar big cycles. for the full story click here

Oh well, if a big one hit, then there wouldn't be too much else to worry about. :)

We had a big solar flare hit us on 14th december.
I was so strong that it was precited that Northern italy could see the aurora.
Solar activity is whats causing global warming, but we probably arent helping.

The next solar max is already being predicted to be a satellite killer...

Yes, I can see it now, thousands of UK sports fans get their new 1.8m dishes set up next may, buy their Showtime sports subscriptions, lash out on a new receiver and Nilesat gets knocked out by a solar flare. I bet they blame it on Rupert. ;)
