Hi people,
First post, so I thought it'd be a good one.
Quite large solar flare about to hit the earth - can't get too much more interesting than that :-) http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/03/07/nasa-reports-that-solar-flare-could-disrupt-power-communications/

Well, the current topic WAS on optics, correct?   ;-)
