Solar Storms: Auroras, Radio Blackouts, and Tech Disruptions - What's Next?

Earth is currently experiencing solar storms, leading to concerns about potential technological disruptions such as radio blackouts and grid impact, with a 60 percent chance of power grid disruption. Physicist Tamitha Skov highlighted the increasing risk of radio blackouts due to M-class flares, with a series of storms expected to hit through January 25. While these storms may affect radios, aviation communication, and satellite operations, they are not expected to be powerful enough to impact critical infrastructure. The solar storms are also expected to create stunning auroras visible as far south as Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York.
