Space Weather Basics Presentation

Stunning image of the aurora borealis in the night sky, featuring vibrant green and purple lights spreading out in dynamic, wispy patterns. The lights appear to converge at a central point, resembling a celestial explosion or ethereal figure, against a backdrop of countless stars.
Aurora displays are a way to experience space weather, as the solar wind interacts with Earth's atmosphere.
