@allaboutspace-u looks into the truth about the potential threat of a solar storm shutting down Earth for months and if we are prepared for it. See CMEs, solar flares, space weather, the fragility of power grids, the dangers and how to protect against a Carrington event.
A powerful solar storm could bring human civilization to its knees, causing widespread blackouts and disrupting our critical infrastructure for months. The Carrington Event of 1859 is a harsh historical reminder of the devastating impact possible from a massive coronal mass ejection--that are so common and usually harmless--can have on our planet.
As we continue to explore space and monitor the climate, NASA and geophysicists around the world work to prepare for the worst-case scenario, according to reports. Are we doing enough to mitigate the effects of a catastrophic solar storm? In this video, we'll examine powerful solar imagery, closeup and new, of the power, beauty, and might of the sun. We enter the world of emergency preparedness as well, and explore the "what-if scenarios that keep scientists up at night.
From cybersecurity to natural disasters, we'll view the potential consequences of a solar storm and what we can do to safeguard our planet against this looming threat.
