AUSTIN, Texas, June 3 (TNSJou) -- The University of Texas at Austin's Texas Advanced Computing Center issued the following news release on June 3, 2021:
The surface of the sun churns with energy and frequently ejects masses of highly-magnetized plasma towards Earth. Sometimes these ejections are strong enough to crash through the magnetosphere -- the natural magnetic shield that protects the Earth -- damaging satellites or electrical grids. Such space weather events can be catastrop . . .
