Particle storms are Caused by solar energetic particles (SEPs). SEPs created by solar flares and CMEs are very energetic bursts of particles that pose a major threat to the electronics and power systems of satellites.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The effects of space weather are of huge concern to power and satellite companies, the airline and transportation industries as well as oil and gas pipeline and survey/drilling companies. Even the financial sector is becoming aware of space weather’s impact.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Geomagnetic storms are a worldwide disturbance of the Earth’s magnetic field, associated with solar activity. The solar wind fills the solar system and the Earth is constantly bombarded by this steady flow of particles and magnetic field.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The aurora borealis and aurora australis – often called the northern lights and southern lights – are common occurrences at high northern and southern latitudes, less frequent at mid-latitudes, and seldom seen near the equator.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Space weather includes any and all conditions and events on the sun, in the solar wind, in near-Earth space and in our upper atmosphere that can affect space-borne and ground-based technological systems and through these, human life and endeavor.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young

The June Solstice is coming! Friday, June 20, 2025 at 10:42 pm EDT • 9:42 pm CDT • 8:42 pm MDT • 7:42 pm PDT • Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 02:42 UTC| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The solar wind is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system. Learn what a solar wind is, and how it affects us here on Earth, Mars and beyond.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The First Mission to the Nearest Star! Parker Solar Probe will be a historic mission, flying into the Sun’s atmosphere (or corona) for the first time. Scientists hope this data will help them understand how heat and energy move through the corona and drive the solar wind, which can cause space weather here on Earth. Parker Solar Probe will make two dozen close approaches to the sun over its seven-year mission.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Parker's unique ability to travel closer to the sun than any previous spacecraft has provided unprecedented data about the sun and its impact on the solar system.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
