NASA Detects Solar Flare Pulses at Sun and Earth

摘要

In past editions of this column, I discussed the difference in the numbers of terrestrial weather sensors and of space weather-sensing instruments. There are thousands upon thousands of terrestrial weather-sensing instruments all over the Earth, oceans, and even in the sky. Monitoring space weather, on the other hand, is limited to a very small number of spacecraft armed with instruments capable of monitoring the Sun-Earth connection, from the Sun to the Magnetosphere and the Earth5S geomagnetic environment.
