Is Earth’s Greatest Threat...The Sun?
Season 2
Episode 8
Space weather can have a major effect on the technology we rely on. And a large solar flare could cause the most significant weather threat because so much of essential services are powered by a functioning electrical grid and a geomagnetic storm could create a grid-down scenario. We learn about the Carrington Event, Coronal Mass Ejection, and how to harden the grid.
