Observing the Aurora: a window into the near-geospace environment
Event Start:
2021-11-01T15:00:00
Event End:
2021-11-01T16:00:00
Event Information:
The Northern Lights, also known the Aurora Borealis, are an ionospheric phenomena which has fascinated mankind for centuries. A beautiful display of light, the Aurora also provides a window into the workings of the near-space environment – most of which would otherwise remain invisible. The aurora yields important clues about plasma and large-scale dynamic processes in the solar-terrestrial environment. Due to the immense size of the near-earth environment, understanding how the Sun-Earth relationship evolves is a challenge.
