Impending Solar Storm Threatens Earth with High-Speed Winds and Dazzling Auroras

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned that a G2-class geomagnetic storm, caused by a solar storm, will hit Earth on March 24th. While this could result in intense auroras, powerful solar storms can also cause damage to wireless communications, electronic infrastructure, satellites, mobile networks, internet services, power grids, and sensitive ground-based electronics. NOAA monitors solar storms and the Sun's behavior using its DSCOVR satellite to predict the impact of such storms on Earth.
