태양서 오는 지자기 폭풍에 전력 마비…우주 에어백이 막는다

A powerful geomagnetic storm originating from the sun poses a significant threat to global power grids, potentially causing widespread blackouts. These solar events can disrupt satellite communications and damage electrical infrastructure. However, a new protective technology, described as a 'space airbag', is being developed to mitigate these risks. This innovative system aims to shield critical infrastructure from the damaging effects of solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

Protecting our increasingly electrified world from solar storms is crucial for maintaining essential services and preventing catastrophic economic and social disruption.
