The Green Light

Do you live in Sweden? If you do, then you probably know what I'm talking about. If you don't, don't worry, because I'm going to tell you right now. What I'm blathering about is the Aurora Borealis, and today, there was a specifically brilliant one above Stockholm. Witnesses say that it was" a gigantic display of dancing lights and Technicolor" and that it was an "absolutely awesome display" and that one would have to " lie on the ground to capture it all."
 Though this may sound nice, it's also worrying, because it signals that a particularly large solar flare is coming.Fortunately, NASA says that the ISS is fine. Unfortunately, there might be problems with communications and power grids, and also, all plane flights close to the Poles will be cancelled, because of the lack of communications. They will start back this Friday, because that's when the solar flare will stop.
Hope the flare doesn't cause you inconvenience!
