Scientists are predicting a storm from a giant, many times larger than the magnetic storm recorded in early August, which will land on Earth in 2012. This is the strongest storm from within. 100 years.

NASA has warned that the phenomenon of storms earlier this month is only a warning sign for a giant storm, which could ruin the entire energy network of the planet. NASA has anticipated such a storm since 2006 and reports from the US said the storm could hit Earth at the end of the world in Hollywood movies - 2012.
Similar storms in 1859 and 1921 caused turmoil around the world, wiping out large-scale telegraph lines. The coming storm may have even more impact.
"Astronomers all agree that the storm from now on (which will land in 2012 or 2013) will be the strongest storm in 100 years," astronomer Dave Reneke told News.com. .au. "It will affect airline companies, telecommunications companies and anyone who uses modern GPS systems. It could even damage artificial satellites around the Earth," Raneke added.

No one knows how the storm will affect a society that is increasingly dependent on digital. Dr. Richard Fischer of NASA's Heliophysics Institute said that the storm would be a "lightning bolt" , causing serious damage to the world health, emergency services and national security.
A report by the National Academy of Sciences said that if such a storm attacked right now, it would cause 1 to 2 trillion dollars in damage due to broken tech infrastructure, and it would have to be lost. 4-10 years to recover.
Scientists began to make warnings when the Sun entered a period called the solar cycle 24.
