The Star needs to not be terribly active so that the planets have reasonable
space weatherSo, what is space weather?
Space Weather includes..
the solar corona, the solar wind, the ionosphere and magnetosphere
changes on the Sun propagate and can cause changes in the atmosphere, we use “weather”
Our research starts at the SunIn visible
light, It’s pretty boring
But at UV or X-ray, it has vast changes
The largest eruptions are called “CME’s”

A large section of the corona blows off
When it goes to the side, it’s easiest to see
But it’s not heading to us!

A large section of the corona blows off
When it is heading towards us, it expands like a halo
And the CCD sees the snow of the energetic particles

The mass of plasma propagates at up to 1000 km per second!
(how fast to get here from the Sun?)Modeling efforts
are now tying “sun to mud” simulations of the entire system
CISM = Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling

But the Earth and its inhabitants are mostly protected by our invisible
force field
When it arrives, it can cause the aurora, and cause major problems
for spacecraft and electrical systems
