ForgedArtificer writes "A recent eruption on the sun will be exposing Earth to the strongest radiation storm seen since 2005.

It is expected to hit Tuesday, Jan 24th, at a speed of 5 million mph (2000 kps) and will potentially disrupt communications and put high-flyers at risk of radiation exposure."
