April 7, 2010: Space Storm
A huge space storm of the Sun's coronal mass ejection, whacked to Earth on Monday. As a result there were beautiful Auroras around the world.
This is what it looked like, from the International Space Station flying through it, at 17,500 mph. Quote:

When I was a boy, I once had a mass ejection that whacked to earth also.

If you want to cower under your bed in fear, read up on the Carrington Event.
Then think about what it would do to us today. Then read this: Quote:
