Learning about solar flares in class has been one of the most interesting things to me. I think it is amazing how unpredictable they are and how they can affect of Earth. It is fascinating to me to think about how a solar flare can wipe out our electronic systems. Our book explains that the reason we lose electronics is due to the the geomagnetic storm that occurs when a solar flare happens. It makes me wonder how vast of an area could lose power due to a geomagnetic storm and what would then happen.
