Start Here For Space: Solar Winds, Flares Drive Weather in Space

Originally aired on: July 13, 2021

Solar flares, winds and other factors including radiation drive weather in space. Space weather events can knock out satellites, block communications and even bring havoc to terrestrial electrical grids. That was one of the topics on the table at the 2023 Space Symposium in Colorado Springs.
