Can't imagine your life without the Internet? Then we have news for you that you probably won't be happy about. There is a real risk that you will experience it for yourself relatively soon - specifically in January next year - perhaps for a few days or weeks. This suggests miniAt least a study published on its official website by the Royal Astronomical Society, a respected authority in the world of astronomical research. 

According to the conclusions of a published study, the Sun's activity cycle may reach its eleven-year peak as early as January next year. maximum, which can be manifested by strong geomagnetic storms, coronal mass ejections or even significant weather fluctuations on Earth. This is not something that is particularly rare. The intensity of solar activity reaches its peak every 11 years, and although NASA claims that this is not expected to happen until 2024, other astronomers are convinced that it will happen much earlier, given the "behavior" of the Sun. And this can be a problem. Both strong geomagnetic storms and coronal mass ejections affect electronics, especially satellites or electrical networks. And if these manifestations of solar activity are strong enough, they can put satellites and the telecommunications system connected to them, navigation systems, and so on out of operation, and their restoration can only occur after the equipment is repaired or replaced with new ones. The beginning of next year can therefore be truly interesting and quite negative for life on Earth. Even simple outages of the internet, telecommunications, or location services would have a very negative impact on everyday life.
