New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting satellites — and it is a question of "when," not "if" this will happen, experts say.

    While it would be painful, honestly, good. We are too dependent on devices tied to questionable cloud services. A Carrington Event would be a timely reminder.

      What does that have to do with satellites?

        I don’t say it does, but may make people think about dependency

          sure, because humanity is famously known for learning from our mistakes :D
