Space Weather 101

Earth has an intrinsic magnetic field. Most people know this, because they use the magnetized needle of a compass to locate the cardinal directions north, east, south, and west. Most people don’t realize however, that Earth’s magnetic field extends well out into space where it meets, combines, and interacts with the Sun’s much stronger magnetic field. The interactions happen because the Sun sends out a steady stream of mostly protons and electrons in all directions along its magnetic field -- the solar wind. The Sun also produces continuous light emissions in infrared to ultraviolet to X-ray, in addition to eruptive emissions of X-rays and bulk ionized gas, called flares and coronal mass ejections. The ionizing radiation from the Sun striking our upper atmosphere creates a layer of ionized gas that leads to our own outflowing ionized gas, called plasma, along Earth’s magnetic field lines. The Sun’s outflowing solar wind and coronal mass ejections, together with its large magnetic field, drive strong responses inside Earth’s magnetic and plasma system. Together with cosmic radiation, these processes in the space environment are called Space Weather. That term includes the responses Earth’s magnetized plasma system has to these external drivers, which cause dangerous conditions for astronauts and satellites in space, as well as to us and our systems in the atmosphere and on the ground. This lecture is intended to make you aware of the risks and lead you to a basic awareness of the processes going on in our near-Earth space environment.

Building Space Weather Literacy Through Sustained Engagement

Space weather affects all space systems, both natural and artificial. There is a rapid growth of awareness in past decades of this reality and a critical need for space weather prediction due to technology advances. Above all, space weather science and its history are outstanding vehicles for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics. As a white paper group, we recommend that the Decadal Survey builds space weather literacy within K–14 classrooms and the general public, covering all areas of studies in Heliophysics through sustained engagement beyond celestial and spacecraft events.
