In “The Doomsday Book” by Marshall Brain, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is one of several different ways that the nation’s power grid can collapse and leave hundreds of millions of people helpless without power. Depending on where we are in the sun’s cycle, CMEs can occur several times a day. The day that a powerful CME happens to be aimed at Earth, it is a doomsday event for whichever side of the planet happens to be facing the sun when the CME arrives. These videos help to illustrate what a CME is and how CMEs can cause so much destruction, potentially bringing a modern nation to its knees:
