Beware of Intense Solar Storms and Their Impact on Earth and Aviation.

Two coronal mass ejection (CME) clouds are expected to hit the Earth today, potentially creating a more powerful solar storm. The addition of a flare eruption or solar winds can further complicate matters, making it difficult to predict the strength of the incoming storm. A powerful solar storm can potentially damage satellites, break down mobile networks and internet services, cause power grid failures, and corrupt sensitive ground-based electronics. NOAA's DSCOVR satellite monitors solar storms and the Sun's behavior to prepare the final analysis.
