Our Sun, a G2V star, exhibits space weather in the form of magnetically driven solar explosive events, including coronal mass ejections and energetic particle events. Extreme explosive events create extreme space weather that can significantly perturb Earth's magnetosphere, causing strong geomagnetic ...
Effects on Earth’s surface Communication from the ground to satellites is affected by space weather as a result of perturbations of the, which can reflect, refract, or absorbradio waves. This includes radio signals fromGlobal Positioning System(GPS) satellites. Space weather can change the density...
Free:Spaceweather.com Newsletter JALAPEñO PEPPERS FROM SPACE:These are thefirst Jalapeño seedsever flown to the edge of space. On May 14, 2025, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched them onboard a cosmic ray research balloon. They spent 3 hours in the stratosphere exposed to Ma...
The time varying conditions in the near-Earth space environment that may affect space-borne or ground-based technological systems and may endanger human health or life are referred to as space weather. Space weather effects arise from the dynamic and highly variable conditions in the geospace envir...
Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space that can impact technological systems on Earth and in space, such as spacecraft and ground-based power systems. It includes effects like electrical charging, electrostatic discharges, and geophysical induced currents, which are complex and ...
weatherionosphericirregularitiesNear-Earth space weather is largely due to structure in the ionospheric density and electric currents flowing in the upper atmosphere. The steep plasma gradients and ionospheric irregularities affect a range of communication and navigation operational systems that depend on ...
on our planet's cosmic neighborhood and provide a detailed description of the Space Weather effects on critical infrastructure. We describe the Hungarian national and global space weather forecast centers and capabilities. Finally, we share some guidelines on how to prepare for extreme space weather ...
Data on solar array efficiency measured on board two Czech MAGION micro-satellites between August 1995 and June 2002, during the period of increasing and high solar activity, were used to study the space weather effects on photo-voltaic solar cells. A stronger degradation of the solar array was...
Overnight on March 12-14, 1989, people around the world, including many in the tropics, saw incredible displays of auroras, which are called Northern Lights in the Northern Hemisphere and the Aurora Australis in the Southern.doi:10.1080/00431672.2015.1132078Jack Williams...
