Physics taster: what can the Northern Lights tell us about the Sun?

StudentsVirtual

What causes the Northern Lights, and why are scientists paying more attention to them than ever before? In this session with the University of Southampton, we’ll explore how solar activity drives dynamics in Earth’s magnetic field to create auroras, and how physicists study ‘space weather’ to understand and predict these events. We’ll also look at why this research matters, from protecting satellites to understanding our planet’s place in space.
