Ground-based tools
allow scientists to obtain new information about solar eruptions that threaten
life on Earth.
Experts of the British
geological survey (BGS) began collecting data from three research stations in
the UK to assess the influence of powerful solar storms on our planet's power
grid.
Although coronal mass
ejections - giant solar eruptions of hot plasma - is extremely difficult to
predict, but scientists are trying to explore the possibilities of the most
effective protection of terrestrial power systems from overloads associated
with extreme manifestations of space weather.
