This post talks about the threat that solar storms have for human.
huge solar storms have been recorded to cause mines off coasts of countries to just explode on its self.
Scientists estimate that huge solar storms like this happen once every 100 year
planning ahead: scientists have to look at the sun closely to monitor it satellites tend to fail when a solar storm happens so they can predict it up to six hour before it happens
solar storms are becoming a huge problem that even the UK has put it on their risk factor list in recent years.
I believe that it is good that scientist are planning ahead for solar storms as they can really mess up our technology which can lead to earth systems turning off, which could affect hospitals, or even causing an explosion like you said with the mines. It is good that our atmosphere is protecting us from the potential danger from solar winds but our technology isn't safe from these storms. If scientists can predict these solar winds they can take action into preventing our technology from becoming faulty.
