Solar Dynamics refers to the study of the Sun's behavior and its impact on the solar system. This field encompasses various phenomena such as solar flares, sunspots, and solar wind, which can affect space weather and, consequently, Earth's environment. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting space weather events that can disrupt satellite communications and power grids.
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a key mission by NASA that observes the Sun in multiple wavelengths. Launched in 2010, SDO provides real-time data and images, helping scientists to analyze solar activity and its effects on the Earth and beyond.
