Prepare for Space Weather: Mighty Solar Flare Triggers Geomagnetic Storm Watch
Brace for Impact: Largest Solar Storm in Decades
Earth is preparing for its closest encounter with the sun in nearly two decades as a colossal solar flare triggers a severe geomagnetic storm watch. The powerful eruption from the sun's surface, designated as a G3-level flare, marks the first time such a significant event has been recorded since 2005.
Solar Storm Risks
Solar storms, generated by the sun's activity, can unleash a range of disruptive consequences for Earth. They can disrupt power grids, cause radio blackouts, and pose significant risks to satellite communication and navigation systems. In extreme cases, they can also endanger crewed space missions.
