Sat image of solar flare now showering Earth

This image provided by NASA shows a solar flare erupting at 7 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 6, 2012.  This impressive solar flare is now reaching Earth and could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights. Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center said the sun erupted Tuesday evening and the effects would start smacking Earth late Wednesday night, close to midnight EST. They say it is the biggest in five years and growing. (AP Photo/NASA)
