Miho Janvier: Lekcije osobe koja traga za solarnim olujama

Lekcije osobe koja traga za solarnim olujama

Svemirska fizičarka Miho Janvier proučava solarne oluje: ogromne oblake čestica koje napuštaju Sunce i mogu poremetiti život na Zemlji (istodobno stvarajući i nevjerojatno lijepu polarnu svjetlost). Kako proučiti atmosferu Sunca, čija je temperatura do oko 10 milijuna stupnjeva Celzijusa? Pomoću matematike! Pridružite se članici TED Fellow programa, koja s nama dijeli svoj rad dok pokušava bolje razumjeti kako Sunce utječe na nas na Zemlji.

Solar storms—massive clouds of particles from the Sun—can disrupt power grids on Earth, as seen during the 1989 blackout in Quebec. These storms also create stunning auroras and reveal just how connected we are to our active star. Scientists use computer models and probe data to predict these cosmic tempests, helping protect vital technology from their effects. Earth's invisible magnetic shield offers crucial protection, but understanding solar storms is key to safeguarding our interconnected world.
