By on March 8, 2012 in General Discussion, Science

I switched to my personal page at MSN for a moment to catch up on general news. The first emtry on the MSNBC menu was Solar storm hits Earth: So far, no problem. When I selected it, it was just a blank, bright white, page. Was that a problem? I don’t know how long the [...]
