Solar storm visualizations inform and educate scientists, students, policymakers and public

In a flash, all of your electronics could be gone, courtesy of a solar storm. However, a collaboration of National Science Foundation-funded scientists has created groundbreaking visualizations to help scientists and non-scientists alike understand these massive cosmic eruptions and develop ways to mitigate the disasters they could cause. These visualizations are available at no cost to educational institutions.

Original air date: July 18, 2016.
