We have gotten news that NASA is working on solar shields so that those can be used to offer protection to power grids that are in outer space. After all, solar storms are no small matter, being seen from as far as 93 million miles away, and even at such a great distance, damage can occur to power grids – which why NASA decided to create a solar shield which intends to minimize such damage caused by electromagnetic disturbances in the atmosphere and ground caused by extremely bad weather on the sun. Currently, the solar shield remains experimental, as it has yet to go through its very own ‘baptism of fire’ so to speak before it can be implemented.
