‘Sun is waking up’: NASA warns solar activity could disrupt GPS, power grids, and satellites
NASA warns that the Sun is awakening, showing increased solar activity since 2008. Rising solar wind strength, magnetic field intensity, and sunspot numbers could disrupt GPS, radio communications, and power grids. Ongoing research and upcoming missions aim to monitor and mitigate these potential impacts on Earth and protect technological infrastructure and astronauts.
