SpaceWeather.com’s current report says a sunspot on the far side of the sun is launching vast blobs of plasma — coronal mass ejections, or CMEs — into space. The good news is that they’re firing away from Earth. The bad news is that the sun rotates, and that active sunspot will soon be pointed our way.

So if your electronic goodies go a little crazy for a while, this could be the reason.
