Default Solar observatory closed for some kind of "security issue"

After reading the story, I think the most likely possibility is that some loon
mailed flour or sugar to them, claiming it was weaponized anthrax.

They wouldn't evacuate over a computer virus, and solar observatories don't deal
in secrets (the notion of an apocalyptic solar flare is too remote to take
seriously).
