    "Deep beneath the ice in Greenland and Antarctica, researchers have
    found signs of an enormous solar 'tsunami' that once crashed against
    Earth's atmosphere more than 9,000 years ago.

    This ancient superstorm was triggered by a wave of hot plasma and
    magnetism from the Sun, and it is significantly larger than anything we
    have recorded in recent history.

    The findings have got scientists concerned about our ability to predict
    when the Sun is going to let loose next."

    "The Carrington Event was a solar storm so severe, it collapsed
    telegraph systems in Europe and North America, while also triggering
    auroras right across the world, from Australia to Hawaii to China to Mexico.

    But what happened 9,000 years ago could give that notorious event a run
    for its money."

    On a smaller scale, it's going to be interesting to see what happens
    when that Space X Falcon meets the moon on 4th March.

    "[Bill] Gray, using data gathered by a variety of fellow observers,
    calculated that the stage will crash into the moon on March 4 at 7:25
    a.m. EST (1225 GMT). The impact will occur on the lunar far-side, at
    about 4.93 degrees north latitude and 233.20 degrees east longitude".

    Not a lot to see, I guess,,,,
