Study warns the next solar storm could wipe out satellites and cause space debris within 3 days

A new study warns that massive solar storms could trigger a catastrophic chain of satellite collisions in low-Earth orbit within days if control systems fail. With orbital congestion increasing, losing command of satellites for even 24 hours poses a significant risk of widespread debris, potentially crippling modern infrastructure.
