Payam Javan: NASA has reported that Earth was recently struck by powerful X-class solar flares, the most intense type of solar activity, raising concerns about potential disruptions to communication systems and power grids. These flares, originating from an active sunspot, could trigger widespread blackouts and what some experts call an “internet apocalypse,” as they release massive bursts of electromagnetic radiation that can interfere with satellites, radio signals, and electrical infrastructure.
While no major outages have been reported yet, authorities are urging preparedness for potential disruptions. The event underscores the vulnerability of modern infrastructure to solar activity, prompting calls for improved safeguards against such natural phenomena.
