Eruptions at the Sun eject huge clouds of magnetised gas and highly energetic particles into space. As a result, when Earth is in the way, we may experience Space Weather. Join Silvia Dalla to find out how Solar Energetic Particles released during solar eruptions affect our space environment and how forecasts of radiation storms be generated.
