Space Weather affects all of us. Behind the beauty and wonder of our Sun lies powerful forces to create giant eruptions, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), that blast energy, light, and particles into space, creating so-called geospace storms. These storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations, while triggering spectacular displays of aurora on Earth. This video represents a hypothetical scenario for a space weather event.
