I first heard of this from Astronomy Picture of the Day.

I've noticed over the last few days there have been more disruptions on my (satellite) TV. I've also heard an eye-witness report of the Aurora being visible in the Scottish Highlands. I'll be there in a few weeks and I hope to get some photos, or at least feast my own eyes on it.

Some astronomers are claiming that timing of the current activity is unusual based on previous data. Considering we have only been seriously observing The Sun for a mere blip in it's lifespan, it would be more accurate to say that nobody has a clue what will happen next and even if we did we couldn't do a thing about it anyway.

Space; The Final Frontier. Bring it on.

The spot in the above picture is approximately the same size as Jupiter. Jupiter is approximately 10 times larger than Earth in diameter.
