From Aurora to Magnetic Storm: When Space Weather Becomes Dangerous
Understanding Space Weather Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space that can affect our planet and technology. The sun emits both light and heat but also ships charged particles into outer space, known as solar wind. While the solar wind is generally harmless, fluctuations can lead to more severe phenomena, including magnetic storms.…
