An astronomer is most likely to predict that the cause of the electrical failures in satellites and the disruption of radio communications at high latitudes is a geomagnetic storm. Geomagnetic storms are typically caused by disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere due to solar wind and can affect satellite operations and radio communications, particularly at higher latitudes.
