The Space Weather Center provides key information on the current state of the solar activity, the solar wind, the magnetosphere, and the ionosphere at the global and local levels.

The Sun cannot affect the Earth and humans directly because our planet has two shields, the magnetosphere and the atmosphere, preventing most dangerous energetic particles and the solar wind plasma from reaching the ground. Meanwhile, variable space weather creates numerous indirect effects in the ionosphere, magnetosphere and atmosphere that may be dangerous for the technosphere and people.  

Our research lab is dedicated to advancing the field of space weather control and prediction in order to better understand geoeffective events that can impact technology and infrastructure.
