Space Weather: Eyes on The Sun | National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
From here on Earth, our Sun looks steady and unchanging. However, close up, it is a dynamic, active place. Solar storms, or space weather, have the potential to harm our power grids, global positioning systems, communications networks, and spacecraft and astronauts on orbit. Due to the tremendous potential for impacts to infrastructure, NOAA constantly monitors the Sun’s activity, keeping an eye out for potentially hazardous space weather.
To see how such space weather may affect Earth, please visit Space Weather Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) https://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. government’s official source for space weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and alerts.
NASA works as a research arm of the nation’s space weather effort. NASA observes the Sun and our space environment constantly with a fleet of spacecraft that study everything from the Sun’s activity to the solar atmosphere, and to the particles and magnetic fields in the space surrounding Earth.
