Space Weather Alert - Sunspots, Coronal Holes, and Space Storms

Explore the dynamic relationship between solar activity and Earth's technology in this 41-minute SETI Live webinar featuring heliophysicist Dr. Becca Robinson and host Simon Steel. Discover how massive coronal holes form and send high-speed solar wind streams toward Earth, creating spectacular auroras while potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and communication systems. Learn about the formation mechanisms of coronal holes, their impacts on both terrestrial technology and scientific understanding of solar behavior, and gain insights into space weather forecasting. Examine the science behind solar storms and delve into the mysteries of our nearest star through expert analysis of current solar activity. Access additional resources including citizen science opportunities through Aurorasaurus, aurora photography from Vincent Ledvina, and information about the MUSE mission for continued exploration of heliophysics and space weather phenomena.
