Sun Set To 'Flip Upside Down' Within Weeks

[skomedal]

The Sun is to lose one of its two south poles as its magnetic field flips over, sending a "ripple" throughout space.

The swap could cause intergalactic weather events such as geomagnetic storms, which can cause radio blackouts and interfere with satellites.

Magnetic Pole Reversal is apparently a phenomenon that has occurred on our own Planet on occasion. One has to wonder how our current technology might cope with another instance of that happening.

Another non event.

The IEEE have been bearing all this stuff in mind since the Carrington event.

Hooray for the Faraday cage!
