Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth’s Plasma Shield Just Got WreckedDid you hear about the solar storm that basically punched a hole in Earth’s protective bubble? Scientists watched as 78% of our plasma shield got stripped away—leaving satellites and GPS totally exposed. GPS went haywire, tractors veered off course, and even planes and ships saw navigation glitches. The wildest part? The shield took days to recover, not hours. Space weather is no joke, and this storm just proved how fragile our tech really is when the Sun gets angry. #Science #SpaceWeather #SolarStorm171Share
Michelle York+FollowMars Just Got Hit by a Solar Storm—Yikes!Mars just took a direct hit from the most intense solar storm scientists have ever recorded there. The whole planet lit up with wild auroras, but the real drama? Radiation levels spiked so high, any future astronauts would be in serious danger without major protection. Rovers and orbiters caught it all, showing just how unprepared we are for living on Mars. Turns out, space weather isn’t just pretty lights—it’s a real threat to our Mars dreams! #Science #Mars #SolarStorm20Share
