New Exhibit! Space Weather: Living with a Star

Gazing up at the daytime sky, our faces warmly lit by the Sun, one barely stops to think about the true nature of our connection with our star. Our Sun regularly bathes Earth and the rest of our Solar System in energy in the form of light, as well as electrically charged particles and magnetic fields. Our Solar System has the cosmic equivalent of winds, clouds, storms, and hurricanes -- called space weather. Just like weather on Earth, it can be both mild and wild. Join us as we explore our Sun and its volatile existence in our new exhibit: "Space Weather: Living with a Star."
