Geomagnetic storms, electronic damage to satellites, disruptions to radio wave signals, damage to terrestrial electronic systems: solar flares, storm warnings on Earth!

Thanks to its rays of light, the sun illuminates and warms the Earth.
But in addition to these beneficial waves, it also projects a million tons of matter per second into space.
The polar auroras are a spectacular manifestation of this.
However, this high level of eruptive activity has proven to be devastating in the history of the Earth. And at a time when the sun is entering a period that scientists call the “combat zone”, solar wind gusts could soon be unleashed, impacting human activity on Earth.
To help us prepare collectively for mega eruptions, scientists who are experts in space meteorology, as well as astrophysicists, researchers and paleoclimatologists, are joining forces and strengthening their monitoring capabilities to unlock the secrets of the sun and better anticipate potential disasters.
