Space weather mainly originates from the Sun, but it has some serious consequences here on Earth as well. Maybe we have seen the Northern light as one of the phenomena that of space weather. But space weather may also seriously affect readings of your GPS system, or disturb electrical power supply even to a point where the infrastructure is seriously compromised. Due to the increasing use of complex electrical and electronic systems, society has become increasingly suspectable to the effects of severe space weather.
