In the worst case, a storm can cause slight fluctuations in the power grid and disrupt satellite signals, for example when using GPS.
Mysterious discovery astounds scientists
Peak track in 2025
Astronomers have known for more than 200 years that solar activity goes in cycles. But it was only recently discovered that the activity will increase steadily over the next few years.
If we believe the researchers’ predictions, the activity level will reach its peak in 2025, before declining again.
to me Economic times NASA has warned that an increase in infection will lead to several negative consequences. This will mainly concern the systems that control communications.
