Axios: New Solar Cycle Brings Rare But Major Threat to Earth

Almost everyone loves a warm, sunny summer’s day.

But our Sun — about 93 million miles away, on average — also poses an enormous potential threat to the Earth.

“Although rare, an extreme coronal mass ejection (CME) — a large burst of plasma sent out by the Sun — could cause a months-long blackout, harm satellites and cause billions in damage,” says Axios.

The Sun’s activity goes through an 11-year cycle; a new one begins in 2020. It’s forecast to be quieter than the one ending this year. But, says the website, “Even during relatively calm solar cycles, the Sun can assert itself in ways that could affect everything from GPS reliability to whether the lights stay on in your home.”
