The Sun’s activity level – including solar storms, coronal mass ejections, and solar flares – is expected to hit a cyclical peak in 2013. These events can have severe implications for earth electronics, communication networks, and satellite operations. The infographic below, courtesy of NASA, illustrates some of these effects.
