Honestly, we didn't really give a shit about this enormous solar storm—the largest since 2005—currently pummeling the Earth's magnetic field with protons, cutting swaths of brilliant multi-hued fire across the northern sky. Until we learned that Delta was forced to delay a few flights. That's got to be a huge pain for whoever was on those flights. Horrible.
