Description: brilliant.org/CuriousDroid Space weather and solar storms pose an increasing threat to our modern technological world but what are we doing about it. In this video, we look at what we have found out about how the coronal mass ejections affect not only our tech but the earth itself and how we can use the latest data from solar observatories and geoelectrical mapping to mitigate even a Carrington level event in the future.
