But one more has just been added a munications blackout caused by solar storms. After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 20xx, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telemunications satellites and interact links sending live Olympic broadcast from London. “The Sun39。s a tall order to live up to． It39。t know what you boys would do 48 dad39。 Yes.
