The sky is falling...but NASA has it all under control...
Use of physical models to test computer models based on mental models:
Magnetic Shield Cracks Found: Big Solar Storm Predicted
NASA says huge solar particle buildup inside earth's magnetosphere could be from tears that, when the sun's polarity is aligned with earth's polarity, will allow a flood of solar particles inside that layer of earth's atmosphere where many communication satellites orbit, some solar flares may even reach the earth's surface damaging the electrical grid.
