Earth is under a solar storm warning this week after the sun unleashed two powerful streams of energized particles directly at our planet over the weekend.
The first is set to make an impact Monday and the second by Wednesday – both have a 60 percent chance of causing radio blackouts, according to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).
Space weather experts predicted power grid issues could appear on the dark side of the planet and in higher altitudes like the poles, which could see issues with aviation communication, ham radios and even satellites disrupted in orbit.
