A storm is coming: Sun's poles are set to FLIP...

-The sun's magnetic field reverses its polarity once every 11 years or so -Flip represents a peak in solar activity where bursts of energy are released -These bursts can lead to space storms and changes to Earth's climate -Radio and satellite communications may also be affected

Will this affect the flag on Mars?

No, but, Guam better look out.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I hope it happens at night.

Ha!

[Clinging Bitterly]

Meanwhile, this particular cycle was a long time coming to reasonable reasonable levels of activity.

So, since obama was to calm the seas, once immaculated,
er, inaugurated, wanna bet he’ll have some clever
remark?

Oh, btw, this is not Bush’s fault.

[Impy]

Please don’t mess up my tv signal.

Thanks NYer.
