Right now, we can only tell how strong a solar storm will be about one or two hours before it hits Earth—because we can’t measure its magnetic orientation until it’s almost on us. To fix that, scientists want to park new satellites at several spots around the sun, not just between Earth and the sun, so we could know a storm’s danger days in advance.

So, if you are using a pace maker, it would be prudent to acquire a Faraday jacket for such weather events?

Is it just me or are these crazy solar storms never a big deal?
