If you are feeling a bit out of it today… or woke feeling like you have been hit by a truck... know that earth is being slammed by the biggest solar flare in six years. Breathe… take care of yourself and know tomorrow it will be better. NOAA said it was the strongest solar radiation storm in more than six years - and it was forecast to hit Earth's magnetic field on Tuesday, and it could affect airline routes, power grids and satellites, the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center said. A coronal mass ejection - a big chunk of the Sun's atmosphere - was hurled toward Earth on Sunday, driving energized solar particles at about 5 million miles an hour (2,000 km per second).
