The Times newspaper reports that scientists warn solar activity could hit the London 2012 Olympic Games. The story was headlined "Solar firestorm threat to 2012 Games" in the printed editions, and appeared on page 13 of the Wednesday, February 3 edition. It describes the possibility that television and Internet networks could be disrupted by solar activity - 2012 will be near the peak of the 11 year solar cycle.
