地磁暴是由太陽風和太陽活動引起的地球磁層擾動造成的，會對地球的自然系統和技術基礎設施產生重大影響。展望2025年，以下是關於地磁暴的七大預期！

1. 太陽活動增強

The Sun follows an approximately 11-year solar cycle, with peaks in solar activity known as solar maxima. The next peak is expected around 2025, which means that geomagnetic storms could become more frequent and intense as the solar cycle progresses. Stay tuned for increased solar flares and coronal mass ejections that might lead to more geomagnetic activity.

2. 對衛星和電信的影響

Geomagnetic storms can severely disrupt satellite operations and telecommunications. As we approach 2025, organizations and companies that rely on satellite technology, such as GPS navigation and communications, should prepare for potential outages and disruptions. Innovations in satellite technology may help mitigate these risks.

3. 極光活動增強

地磁暴最令人嘆為觀止的影響之一是極光（北極光和南極光）的增強。隨著2025年之前太陽活動的增強，預計極光將更加絢麗多彩、分佈範圍更廣，尤其是在極地附近地區，這將為極光愛好者提供充足的觀賞機會。

4. Power Grid Vulnerabilities

Geomagnetic storms can induce currents in power lines, posing risks to electrical grids. As we near 2025, utility companies must remain vigilant and enhance their infrastructure to withstand potential storm-induced interruptions. Governments and regulatory agencies may also push for more robust standards to protect against geomagnetic risks.

5. Impact on Air Travel

太陽風暴會影響高空航班，尤其是極地地區上空的航班，因為那裡的磁場最弱。航空公司和空中交通管制員可能會在地磁風暴期間實施新的安全規程或更改航線，這可能導致航班時刻表變更，並提高乘客的防範意識。

6. 研究與監測創新

為了應對地磁暴，監測技術和數據分析的進步將在預測和了解太陽天氣方面發揮至關重要的作用。預計到2025年，專注於空間天氣的研究機構和組織將開發出新的工具和技術，以便及時提供有關地磁事件的預警和見解。

7. Public Awareness and Preparedness

As the science of geomagnetic storms becomes more understood, public awareness is likely to increase. Educational campaigns and resources will become available to inform individuals and businesses about the potential impacts of geomagnetic storms, encouraging preparedness strategies at personal and organizational levels.
