Space weather
Summary
Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the time varying conditions within the Solar System, including the solar wind, emphasizing the space surrounding the Earth, including conditions in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Space weather is distinct from, but conceptually related to, the terrestrial weather of the atmosphere of Earth (troposphere and stratosphere). The term "space weather" was first used in the 1950s and came into common usage in the 1990s. Later, it was generalized to a "space climate" research discipline, which focuses on general behaviors of longer and larger-scale variabilities and effects.
History
For many centuries, the effects of space weather were noticed, but not understood. Displays of auroral light have long been observed at high latitudes.
Genesis
In 1724, George Graham reported that the needle of a magnetic compass was regularly deflected from magnetic north ov
