Solar cycle 25 could turn off electronics

With Solar Cycle 25 ramping up, strong solar storms are more
likely to erupt, boosting the potential for both possible
disruptions with satellites, radio communication, and power
systems (https://bit.ly/3mnTIuM).
This is a very real threat. In early February 2022, a geomagnetic
(solar) storm destroyed 40 new SpaceX satellites in orbit.
With the thousands of small satellites now in orbit which provide
all of us with internet service and other communications, solar
activity needs to be taken seriously.
On the bright side, more solar activity lends itself to more awesome
displays of the bright auroras!  Indeed, in early 2022, aurora
watchers have been delighted to see some beautiful displays
of geothermal activity.
