Astronomers call Space Weather the impact of variation in solar activity in the Solar System and on Earth in particular.

In this activity, students will observe images of the Sun, taken from space science satellites and ground telescopes, including the CESAR solar telescope, and in them they will recognize phenomena such as sunspots, flares and coronal mass ejections, understanding their relationship with the so-called space weather.

RECOMMENDED AGES: 12-16 years old
