NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission may help prevent an internet apocalypse caused by solar winds. Our digital universe is threatened by a solar storm which could trigger a global technological blackout. The PSP’s mission is to explore and study the source of this impending doom, enduring heat and radiation to examine solar winds. These winds, consisting of charged particles, have the potential to wreak havoc on our technological existence and human communication. The gathered data from the probe led to the discovery of “supergranulation flows” within magnetic field hotspots considered genesis points for dangerous solar winds. Though located at the sun’s poles, during the sun’s active phase, these holes can spew solar wind gusts anywhere on the sun’s surface.
