An excerpt on solar disturbances from an episode of Quantum , the ABC-TV (Australia) science program which debuted in 1985. Includes interview clips with solar flare prediction expert Patrick S. McIntosh (1940–2016). McIntosh mentions the 1989 peak of the then-current solar cycle, suggesting this episode is from circa 1990. The design of the "technology" bumper at the end suggests this airing may have been from a repackaging of the show from later in the 1990s. This mediocre-quality...

The IMAGE spacecraft observed intense auroral displays in the Fall of 2003 as the material from the coronal mass ejection swept past the Earth. The pressure against the Earth's magnetosphere caused it to dump more electrons into the upper atmosphere, creating auroral displays, as we see here over the South Pole. This is a view of the IMAGE data reprojected onto a model of the Earth. Note: Movie of IMAGE's view of the solar storm. Animator: Tom Bridgman (GST). Scientist: Harald Frey (University...

NOAA scientists explain solar disturbances and space weather forecasting techniques. Interviewees include NOAA researchers Gary Heckman, Patrick S. McIntosh, and Ronald D. Zwickl. Sound: narration, interviews, field recording (NOAA offices), and brief analogue synthesizer music. This NTSC VHS dub is from the personal collection of solar physicist Ted Speiser (1934–2016). It was digitized to Lagarith AVI and transcoded to H.264 MP4 in 2020.

This set of still images from the NOAA/POES satellite are derived from measurements by particle detectors in low Earth orbit. The data are sampled along the orbit track and then interpolated in time and position for the rest of the polar region.

The plasmasphere is a region of ionospheric plasma which co-rotates with the Earth, carried by the magnetic field lines. The plasmapause marks the outer boundary of this region. This colder plasma is more easily moved by the electric fields created by strong solar storms. In the Halloween 2003 event, these fields convected some of the cold plasma out to the magnetopause (gray, semi-transparent surface) and reduced the size of the cold plasma region near the Earth. For this visualization, the...

The 1859 Space Weather Event: Then and Now by E W Cliver. "The 1859 space weather event, combining the first solar flare ever reported with arguably the largest geomagnetic storm ever observed, provided a dramatic opening to a new area of Sun-Earth studies. Here I describe solar science at the time of the discovery of the flare, recount the observation, and trace the developments that led to the correct interpretation of the 1859 solar-terrestrial event by Bartels in 1937."...

Under the wave of energetic particles from the Halloween 2003 solar storm events, the Earth's radiation belts underwent significant changes in structure. This visualization is constructed using daily-averaged particle flux data from the SAMPEX satellite installed in a simple dipole model for the Earth's magnetic field. The toroidal structure of the belts corresponds to regions with electron fluxes in excess of 100 electrons/s/cm^2/steradian with energies of 2-6 MeV. The color-scale on the cross...

The position is identical to that of the November 17/18 outburst of 1998, which implies that both are due to comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle's ejecta from 1899. We also find a halo which contains...

Mars possesses no significant intrinsic magnetic field. The absence of magnetic protection allows the supersonic solar wind flow to directly interact with the Martian ionosphere (an almost fully ionized region of the Mars upper atmosphere). When the velocity of the solar wind increases, the Martian ionosphere is compressed and the ionopause (a boundary layer between the ionosphere and the solar wind) is displaced to lower altitudes. The ions of planetary origin such as O+ and O2+ escape from...
