Heliospheric Science

Heliospheric Science studies the region of space influenced by the Sun's activity, primarily focusing on the solar wind—a continuous flow of charged particles emitted by the Sun. This study explores how the solar wind interacts with planetary magnetic fields, shapes space weather, and affects satellites, spacecraft, and even Earth's climate. Understanding the heliosphere—the vast bubble formed by the solar wind around our solar system—helps scientists predict solar storms, protect technology, and gain insights into how stars influence their surroundings across the universe.
