* Solar storm background:
Huge explosions on the sun release highly energized particles which are carried through space by solar winds traveling at over 1 million miles per hour.

As the solar wind approaches Earth, it compresses the magnetic field that surrounds us, causing our protective cocoon to flatten and distort.

Solar storms bring the potential for power outages, radio and navigation problems, and satellite disruptions that can affect worldwide communications.
