If a Solar Superstorm were to occure today, like the historic one of 1859, the electrical infrastructure of the Earth would completely collaspe - scienstists say. Not only would it damage the Earth’s atmosphere it would destroy most of the world’s artificial satellites, possibly even the ISS or international space station if it is in the wrong place, sending it hurtling towards Earth. All up it poses a massive risk to human life and the economy. With no satellites that means no Mobile phones and TV would also be effected. The implications could be devastating.
