Sun scorching angry outbursts which set free as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs—possibly will, under the right circumstances, black out cities and fry satellites. But new solar scopes can give us advance warning.

The Earth’s magnetic shield protects us from the worst effects of solar storms (and even astronauts on the International Space Station can take cover in a heavily shielded module), but technology suffers greatly. Atmospheric and magnetic fluctuations that the storms cause can also disable satellites, burn out transformers, and take down power grids.
