NCAR Explorer Series: From numbers to images: Visualizing space weather

Speaker: Michael Wiltberger, NCAR HAO

How can we see what happens far beyond what our eyes can process? Scientists are able to use data to paint a picture of massive eruptions on the Sun propagating through interplanetary space and their impact on Earth. The effects of space weather on our society are far reaching and can range from producing beautiful phenomena such as the aurora as well as disruptions in our communications and power grids.
