00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:19,820
it's hard to imagine weather being more

2
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:21,960
than rain on our weekend or ice on our

3
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:25,050
roads but space weather can affect the

4
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:27,060
globe especially in the way we

5
00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:30,090
communicate and power our world space

6
00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:32,099
weather is the environmental conditions

7
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:34,620
outside of our planet originating from

8
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:36,600
the massively energetic output of the

9
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:39,000
Sun the solar wind is primarily

10
00:00:43,069 --> 00:00:40,920
comprised of protons and electrons

11
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:43,079
they're streaming outward from the Sun

12
00:00:47,959 --> 00:00:45,360
it speeds of up to a million miles an

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:47,969
hour and they are constantly bombarding

14
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,570
the Earth's magnetic field satellites

15
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:53,280
have been launched to study solar wind

16
00:01:01,010 --> 00:00:55,980
solar flares coronal mass ejections and

17
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:04,020
these phenomena impact our atmosphere

18
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:08,020
sometimes with devastating force so

19
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:10,510
space weather includes power outages in

20
00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:13,180
high latitude power grids includes a

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:15,700
disruption of spacecraft includes

22
00:01:20,850 --> 00:01:17,890
radiation that can harm astronauts in

00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:20,860
space with any weather prediction is the

00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:24,280
goal these missions will all add to the
