Solar Superstorm. UK Warning!!
Britain must do more to prepare for a once-in-a-century "solar superstorm", according to experts.
The Government is being urged by the Royal Academy of Engineering to set up a UK Space Weather Board to help cope with a massive radiation blast from the Sun.
Such an explosion could trigger black-outs, knock out one in 10 satellites, and disrupt aircraft and GPS systems.
Statistically a solar superstorm is likely to occur every 100 to 200 years.
Although solar weather events happen regularly, the Earth has not experienced a superstorm since the start of the space age.

David Mundy and his son built a secret underground cannabis factory 12ft beneath their back garden.
David Mundy, 54, spent hours digging out the den – dubbed a ‘potting shed’ – at the rear of his property in Pendlebury, helped by son Anthony, 29.
