Between episodes of 24 the game around here lately has been Communications Systems.  A midterm tomorrow that I almost have to get an A on has kept me away from much else, but I have done a little work on the website that I am working freelance on.  Another Solar Flare yesterday was an X20+, actually overloading the sensors that measure flares for a full 11 minutes.  Looks like that one will be the largest ever recorded.  If the flare had been pointing at Earth, and not off into space, we’d probably be seeing Aurora farther south than last week, but of course, if a flare of that magnitude hit us broadside, the Aurora would be the least of our worries.  Folks in commercial airliners at high latitudes would be getting radiation doses 100 times that of a normal X-Ray.  Not fun stuff.
