A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum , from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end. The amount of energy released is the equivalent of millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time
Oct 28th 2003 there was a large solar flare and Earth is in the spectrum. This is going to effect stalite television, Internet services, radio transmitions and cellular consversations, Oct 29 - Nov 2. If you notice anything wierd between these time periods write post it here. Or if you know anything more about some of the other effects it would be great too. Nasa was prety vauge in thier information.
