The Washington Star reported that the Space Environment Services Center at Boulder, Colo., was predicting an 11-year peak in sunspots; solar outbursts in coming months could raise magnetic storms on Earth, foul up radio communications, and cause computers to go haywire. Gary Heckman, head of the center, said solar flares might have set off a civildefense circuit in Canada that automatically put radio stations in an alert mode. The upcoming flare peak might be the second most active since the record of 1957. (W Star, Feb 25/80, A-9)
