This Solar Probe Just Helped To Trace The Origins Of Space Weather

Surface features on the Sun, such as sunspots and coronal holes, produce different types of solar wind affecting the Solar System.

What's Up With These Crazy Northern Lights?

Solar wind causes visible aurora borealis further south. Solar storms peak every 11 years, impacting space weather and Earth.

Astonishing natural light display captured across Australian skies

Stargazers enjoyed a rare display of Aurora Australis in southern Australia due to a severe geomagnetic storm, with more anticipated.
Geomagnetic storms have the potential to disrupt infrastructure but do not pose a direct threat to humans.

Solar Eclipse Experiment Will Fly a Kite to Avoid Cloudy Skies

The Solar Wind Sherpas team travels worldwide to observe total solar eclipses, facing challenges like clouds obstructing their view.
The team plans to use a kite loaded with instruments to view the sun's corona during the upcoming solar eclipse in North America.

Vega-C to launch Europe and China's first joint space mission

Smile mission, a joint project between ESA and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to explore solar wind and northern lights from a unique vantage point.

The magnetic shield that protects Earth and makes life possible

Earth's magnetic field deflects solar particles, protecting the atmosphere and enabling life on Earth.
The geodynamo powered by Earth's core creates a protective shield known as the magnetosphere, guarding against solar wind and enabling existence of life on the planet.

Sun's strongest flare in six years was 'stuck in traffic,' expert says

Solar storm impact delayed due to slower solar wind stream
Radio frequencies and technology on Earth experienced brief disruptions

MAVEN saw what happens to Mars when there's no solar wind

NASA's MAVEN mission observed a dramatic drop in solar wind on Mars, leading to expansion of the Martian atmosphere and magnetosphere.
The drop in solar wind caused significant changes in Mars' magnetosphere and ionosphere, with the size of the magnetosphere and ionosphere more than tripling.

Gigantic oddball aurora seen from Earth for the first time

A rare 'polar rain aurora' phenomenon was observed in December 2022 when solar wind decreased, allowing electrons from the Sun's corona to create a distinctive glow across the North Pole.
