skysignal: This illustration shows the approximate size of Earth compared to the Sun. The giant coronal mass ejection in the image blasted off the Sun in October 2003. The image was taken by the international SOHO spacecraft. *Image Credit*: NASA and European Space Agency When this hits us really hard, every electrical device on the planet could fail.
