Join us on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET, to learn about impending solar events and their potential impacts on Earth.

The Sun is constantly churning and bubbling. In addition to the radiation that supports life on Earth, the Sun often releases particles energetic enough to harm Earth-based and near-Earth assets. Just like meteorologists are able to interpret weather patterns and draw conclusions about the formation of hurricanes, dust storms, and tornados, NOAA warns us about impending solar events and their potential impacts on Earth and monitors the variable conditions on the Sun that concern humans.

Dr. Spann, as part of the Office of Space Weather Observations, will discuss the physics of our closest star, clues that help us predict major solar activity, and a new Lagrange 1 solar observatory launching in 2025. We hope participants will leave the event with a deepened understanding of the physics of space weather and the way humans monitor and mitigate the impact of solar activity.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.
