When Nature Strikes - Space Weather

The video discusses space weather, focusing on solar storms and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can disrupt Earth's technology. It highlights the 2003 Halloween storm as a warning of potential future impacts. Scientists are working to better predict these events by studying the sun's magnetic fields, aiming to mitigate the effects on power grids, satellites, and communication systems.
