Powerful solar storm could zap satellites Radiation alert Biggest since 2005 Flights rerouted because of Solar Storm Forces Airlines to Divert Strongest in 7 Years Hitting Earth dodges a bullet mostly Big Hits Delta Reroutes as Braces for Largest Decade forces United divert flights Raw Video Closeup M8.7 Flare sparks dazzling northern lights massive slams Widespread Northern Lights activity possible radiation pummels buffets How protected is the US power grid storm's spectacular display

Solar flare impacts life on Earth Planes, satellites, utilities affected during biggest solar storm in years, while some get spectacular northern lights show Solar storm forces Delta, United to divert flights Solar storm: Delta Air Lines and United Airlines diverted flights over the poles to prevent loss of communications. This is the biggest solar storm in six years, says NASA. Biggest Solar Storm in Eight Years Now Pummeling Earth The strongest solar storm since 2003 is hitting our planet. Find out why planes are being rerouted and what other effects are predicted. Solar storm buffets Earth: How protected is the US power grid? Power-grid operators nationwide are on high alert Tuesday as gale-force geomagnetic winds from a solar storm sweep across the Earth – creating potentially dangerous electrical currents that, if severe enough, could damage the US power grid. Solar Storm 2012: Scientists Monitor as Airlines Divert Flights Several airlines were forced to divert flight patterns as radiation from a massive solar storm hit earth. The 2012 storm is the biggest in nearly a decade, according to scientists at NASA. Solar storm spares Earth from worst effects, but also disappoints aurora watchers The solar wind contained enough radiation but wasn't gusting hard enough to produce a stronger geomagnetic storm. Strong solar storm could affect polar flights this week Washington - The strongest solar storm to hit Earth since October 2003 could affect high altitude navigation, prompting some airlines to avoid polar routes, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said on Tuesday. Solar Radiation Storm Creates Art Show of Northern Lights [PHOTO & VIDEO] The material from Sunday's solar storm created a spectacular art show of northern lights on Tuesday. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center said the the solar storm was the strongest in more than eight years. Solar radiation storm: Flights diverted as Earth's atmosphere is pummeled Airlines such as Delta have diverted flights across northern routes as Earth's atmosphere is hit by a powerful solar radiation storm. America's space weather agency warns satellites may be affected. Strongest solar storm since 2005 hitting Earth The sun is bombarding Earth with radiation from the biggest solar storm in more than six years with more to come from the fast-moving eruption.
