Description:  Geomagnetic activity on the sun may have far reaching implications on life here on Earth.

"A geomagnetic storm is caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field which interacts with the Earth's magnetic field. The increase in the solar wind pressure initially compresses the magnetosphere and the solar wind magnetic field will interact with the Earth's magnetic field and transfer an increased amount of energy into the magnetosphere. .... In 1989, a geomagnetic storm energized ground induced currents which disrupted electric power distribution throughout most of Quebec province and caused aurorae as far south as Texas."
