Earth’s Plasma Shield Just Got Wrecked

Did 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 #SolarStorm
