				It's decently likely that, sometime in the future, a major solar storm will hit Earth, wreaking havoc on our infrastructure and crippling our satellites. But there's a more long-term danger: space could become too dangerously radioactive to stay there.				<a href="http://io9.com/5839967/a-massive-solar-storm-could-keep-us-grounded-on-earth-for-a-decade" title="Click here to read more about A massive solar storm could keep us grounded on Earth for a decade">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				 Discovered last month in a UK barley field, this crop circle appears to be a jellyfish.  But intrepid crop circle analysts have discovered that it predicts a devastating solar storm on July 7.  And they have diagrams to prove it.				<a href="http://io9.com/5306026/did-this-jellyfish-crop-circle-accurately-predict-a-solar-storm" title="Click here to read more about Did This Jellyfish Crop Circle Accurately Predict A Solar Storm?">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				A major solar storm could unleash a burst of geomagnetic fury on Earth's power grid. Recently a group of scientists released a report asking whether our high tech society could survive in bad space weather.				<a href="http://io9.com/5130558/solar-storm-season-could-plunge-earth-into-total-blackout-warn-scientists" title="Click here to read more about Solar Storm Season Could Plunge Earth Into Total Blackout, Warn Scientists">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
