Is a “doomsday” solar flare in the Earth’s near future? Scientists certainly seem to think so; that’s why they are working on building the world’s most advanced radar system to try to detect hazardous flares on the horizon — before they get to earth and wipe out power grids and cause all forms of chaos. Daily […]
