It would be excelent if these solar flares proves to be on of those vents that occurr every 1.000 or 2.000 years lasting some 20 years or so. Knocking down telecoms satellites, and forcing communications to rely in fiber optics. Can you imagine the boost for the optical side of the telecoms sector? <<Some orbiting satellites could be in the firing line, too. The mass of electrons contained in these surges can damage onboard microchips. Operations may need to be temporarily suspended to protect sensitive equipment.>> You said night? Just came back from lunch, SS!

Hi Snowshoe, Hey... Cool... I'm heading off to Las Vegas tomorrow night for a long weekend of fun in the sun. Being much farther north, maybe I'll be able to see the aurora from there, from a high hotel room. Wouldn't it be great to see the aurora on Saturday night, at the same time the moon is in eclipse? Speaking of Saturday night, I'll be at a Simon & Garfunkel concert. I think the time of the eclipse overlaps the time of the concert. Can't recall right now... KJC
