Scientists are warning of potential disruptions to communications over the weekend.

GPS, spacecraft and satellite navigation may also be impacted. U.S. utility companies are monitoring the potential threat to the power grid as well according to CNN.

Oh no! No more Shardlake. RIP CJSansom.

[Abir Mukherjee @radiomukhers]

Such a tragic loss. CJ Sansom was one of the finest ever writers of historical fiction. He was an inspiration to me and to many others. We are poorer without him.
