For a few hours, some satellites experienced electrical failure and at the same time, radio communications at high latitudes were also disrupted. Which is an astronomer most likely to predict was the cause?(1 point)

An astronomer is most likely to predict that the cause of the electrical failure in satellites and disruption of radio communications at high latitudes is **a geomagnetic storm**. Geomagnetic storms are associated with disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field, often caused by solar flares or coronal mass ejections, but they specifically can lead to the kinds of effects described, such as disruptions in satellite operations and radio communications.
