Default Severe space storm headed for Earth

Not sure if this is current events or Science. This is cool from a scientific view so I thought it'd be cool here anyway but you can of course move/delete.

The storm is expected to generate aurorae or northern lights as far south as the northern United States on Thursday night. Astronauts aboard the international space station are not expected to be put at additional risk, Kunches said.

Ahh, aren't we humans so lucky we got a iron fluid outer core which creates the electromagnetic shield which ultimately protects us from cosmic radiation.

Lucky? We probably wouldn't have even evolved on this planet in such a way that you could ask that question.
