Scientists Propose ‘StormWall’ To Stop A $2.4 Trillion Solar Storm

Scientists have proposed a 'StormWall' concept involving a fleet of spacecraft designed to geoengineer Earth's magnetosphere to protect against solar superstorms. While the technology could prevent massive power grid and satellite failures, researchers note it might also interfere with natural auroral displays.
Why it matters
As global reliance on space-based infrastructure grows, developing defensive measures against solar weather is becoming a critical priority for national security and global communications.
