A severe solar storm is brewing in space and is expected to impact Earth’s critical infrastructure, especially communication networks, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA has issued a severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch and is monitoring the sun following a series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8. The storm could cause disruptions to communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio, and satellite operations, as well as pose risks to humans in high-altitude areas.
