Solar Storms Pose Significant Risks to Earth’s Electrical Infrastructure

Solar storms, resulting from coronal mass ejections (CMEs), can have profound impacts on Earth’s electrical systems. These geomagnetic disturbances induce currents that may disrupt power grids, leading to widespread outages. Historical events, such as the March 1989 geomagnetic storm, exemplify the potential severity of such occurrences. As our reliance on technology grows, understanding and mitigating the risks associated with solar storms become increasingly crucial.
