NASA invites the public to join the Space Umbrella project, analyzing MMS data to study magnetic reconnection and solar wind interactions affecting space weather and technology.

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth’s magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella. The Space Umbrella ...

NASA has always made it a point to encourage us citizen scientists to lend them a hand. Right now, they could really use your help protecting Earth against waves of punishing, disruptive solar winds.
