Time to break out the tinfoil hats! (Fortunately I have mine with me though I'm at work)

Though reading the article I think it may have already begun!

Astroboffins are warning that a mighty "eruption" of superhot plasma has been blasted out of the Sun directly at the Earth. The plasma cloud is expected to reach Earth beginning tomorrow today, possibly causing strange phenomena - including a mighty geomagnetic storm which could see the Northern Lights aurorae extend as far south as Blighty or the northern USA.

Someone on slashdot pointed out that the increase in solar radiation we'll experience is utterly piddling. I forget the numbers but it's truly tiny.

Really a whole lot of fuss about nothing.
