Outside the protective magnetosphere, there’s nothing between humans and the powerful radiation from the solar winds. Sam, Stats and Quark find out how it isn’t just astronauts who are at risk – even…
Exploring with the Cluster Missions (Intergalactic Weather Watch)
Sam, Stats and Quark are exploring some of the projects through which scientists measure and investigate solar activity. One project is the European Space Agency’s Cluster Mission.
Inside The Sun (Intergalactic Weather Watch)
The source of most of the space weather affecting Earth is The Sun. In this episode, the class take a trip inside the star to see where it all starts.
Exploring with the SPACESTORM and STEREO (Intergalactic Weather Watch)
Sam, Stats and Quark are finding out about SPACESTORM – a way to predict the effect of space weather on satellites - and take a trip to the far side of the Sun to see STEREO.
How to Measure Space Weather (Intergalactic Weather Watch)
Sam, Stats and Quark are learning how space weather can affect life on Earth and the atmosphere around it. But how do we measure space weather? And how can we know what to expect?
