Space Storms on the Way
As if we didn't have enough to worry about, NASA is now issuing warnings that the earth could be hit with unprecedented levels of levels of magnetic energy as a result of solar flares in 2013, the Telegraph reports. The storms could have a devastating effect on the electrical power grid and satellite systems, disrupting everything from banking systems to GPS navigation.
Government Executive will feature a piece by former NASA lead writer Edward Goldstein on the potential effects of the solar storms -- and what federal agencies are doing to prepare for them -- in the July issue of the magazine.
