Massive Solar Storm To Pass Earth
A massive burst of solar awesomeness is on its way past Earth, having been vomited into space by the Sun.
On July 16, 2013, at 12:09 a.m. EDT, the sun erupted with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection or CME, a solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of particles into space that can reach Earth one to three days later. These particles cannot travel through the atmosphere to harm humans on Earth, but they can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.
Expect more of these as we approach the height of these storms, expected to peak towards the end of 2013.
