NASA's Readiness for Internet Doomsday Questioned.

TL;DR Summary
Researchers warn of a possible solar superstorm that could cause a large-scale internet failure within the next decade, potentially costing the US economy $7 billion per day. However, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has uncovered significant new clues that help them understand the origins of solar winds and prepare for them. NASA has also developed a new computer model that uses artificial intelligence to forecast extreme conditions and predict where a solar storm will strike Earth with a 30-minute warning time, which could provide enough time to prepare for these storms and prevent severe impacts on power grids and other critical infrastructure.
