The impact of a major solar storm would vary greatly around the world, depending on a region’s power grid, proximity to water, location relative to the earth’s magnetic field, and. Solar flares and eruptions will likely increase from now until 2025, as we reach “solar maximum,” writes nicola fox, the director of nasa’s heliophysics division.
