Dr. Florian Kehl, Director Space Research Initiatives at ETH Space, explains how these huge eruptions arise, how solar storms can be observed and predicted, and which space probes help us keep an eye on the sun today and in the future. Space weather touches many areas of everyday life such as air traffic, power grids, communication and navigation systems and agriculture.
