2005 is shaping up to be the most active solar storm year since 1991. Contrary to expectations of 'solar minimum' in the 11 year solar cycle, where a lesser number of sun spots would seem to indicate less CME (coronal mass ejection). Not so. In may there was a G-5 storm, and this past week another large flare. This is generally good for sky-watchers, generally bad for the few people who have to live in space, and can be very bad for satellites as well as stopping all high-frequency radio. More, and more.
