NASA To Study Earth's Invisible Shield - Videos from The Weather Channel

Discover NASA's groundbreaking TRACERS mission launching this July—twin satellites designed to study Earth's magnetic shield that protects our planet from the Sun's powerful solar winds and directly impacts the formation of the mesmerizing Northern Lights. Learn how these explosive solar interactions not only create beautiful auroras but can potentially disrupt critical weather forecasting infrastructure, GPS navigation systems, and power grids …

Spacecraft equipped with a solar sail could deliver earlier warnings of space weather threats to Earth’s technologies

The SWIFT constellation, shown not to scale in this illustration, will fly farther than its predecessors to improve space weather warning time. Steve AlveyThe burgeoning space industry and the technologies society increasingly relies on – electric grids, aviation and telecommunications – are all vulnerable to the same threat: space weather. Space weather encompasses any variations in the space environment between the Sun and Earth. One common ty…

Spacecraft equipped with a solar sail could deliver earlier warnings of space weather threats to Earth’s technologies - Tech and Science Post

The burgeoning space industry and the technologies society increasingly relies on – electric grids, aviation and telecommunications – are all vulnerable to the same threat: space weather. Space weather encompasses any variations in the space environment between the Sun and Earth. One common type of space weather event is called an interplanetary coronal mass ejection. These ejections are bundles of magnetic fields and particles that originate fr…
