Study warns that auroras, caused by geomagnetic storms, can damage infrastructure due to electrical currents.
A study in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences warns that auroras, which are caused by geomagnetic storms, can also damage infrastructure due to the flow of electrical currents. The presence of auroras could be used to warn of potential damage to the electrical grid and other infrastructure. Auroras can damage any form of infrastructure that conducts electricity on Earth, with the risk of damage heightened during severe geomagnetic storms.
