Recent warnings of solar storms affecting the earth within the next few months have caused certain worry around the world.
These phenomena have the capacity to provoke great damage to terrestrial systems, above all in the power grid and GPS systems.
Even the President of the United States, Barack Obama has given the order to various government departments to prepare themselves within 120 days for these cosmic events.
The biggest solar storm in history occurred in 1859, provoking great damage on the telegraphic system, at a moment when the electronic infrastructure was much less than today.
