The largest solar flare ever detected will hit earth approximately noon
EDT Wednesday.


How can it be the largest??

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/1...are/index.html

The outburst was classified an X17.2 flare, the third largest on record,
according to Paal Brekke, a project scientist with the Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a sun-watching satellite mission
jointly run by NASA and the European Space Agency.




Good Luck All
