The aurora is not merely a beautiful display of colours in the night sky. It is visible evidence of dramatic processes unfolding in near-Earth space. Together, we will explore what happens when our star becomes particularly active and how space weather can affect the technologies on which our daily lives depend.
You will discover how the invisible magnetosphere protects us from the destructive force of the solar wind and why understanding these processes is more important than ever. This is not just a lecture. It is a visual journey into the physics behind one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena, one that will change the way you look at the night sky.
