+EraSeek Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Coronal Mass Ejections (solar storms) can reek havok on satelittes and the ionosphere. To demonstrate just how real this phenomenon is now you can watch it rip the tail off a comet here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071003.html Quote Link to comment

GeoidPS Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Very interesting. I studied this comet in detail. It's called the Lizard comet. Don't worry, when it comes back around it will grow a new tail. Quote Link to comment
