                         are coronal mass ejections. During a high energy cycle of the Sun, 
                         or solar max, these can happen as often as six times a day. If the 
                         most extreme of these events are focused so theydirectlyimpact 
                         Earth, the force of impact can be the equivalent of a huge number 
                         of nuclear bombs that can generate an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
