The Sun’s immense power is a double-edged sword. Solar storms, triggered by intense magnetic activity, can unleash devastating coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares. These phenomena send charged particles hurtling toward Earth, disrupting its magnetic field within hours to days.
 

The Risks Are Real:

• Power Grid Failures: Overwhelming geomagnetic currents can black out entire regions.

• Satellite Disruptions: Vital communication and navigation systems can be rendered useless.

• Global Economies at Stake: A Carrington-type event today could cause trillions in damage.
   

As Earth’s magnetic field weakens, our natural shield grows thinner, leaving modern infrastructure vulnerable. The question isn’t if such an event will happen again—it’s when.
