Huge solar storms could cause electricity blackouts, destroy computers and bring down the Internet and all communications.

A new study by the Met Office in the U.K. has found that huge solar storms could cause electricity blackouts, destroy computers and bring down the Internet and all communications. These storms could cost the country 16 billion pounds ($20.5 million) in catastrophic damage.

There's something odd about our solar system.
