A huge eruption on the sun could interfere with power grids and GPS this week

Postby Duane 3NE 2NR » December 10th, 2020, 2:20 pm

An eruption on the sun's surface has sent plasma and charged particles speeding towards Earth.

That coronal mass ejection is forecast to reach our planet late Wednesday as a solar storm that could interfere with radio, GPS, and power grids.

The aurora borealis could appear from Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon as solar particles interact with the atmosphere.

Normal day in TT then...

But this is pretty cool, I wonder if this will increase the changes of seeing the Northern Lights in areas that it isn't usually seen, like the Northern US or UK
