Visualizing the Onslaught of a Solar Storm

The dramatic impact of a coronal mass ejection on Earth and Venus has been visualized.

If you were in any doubt as to the awesome power of the sun and its impact on the planets of the solar system, you need to find the time to visit a planetarium that’s showing the movie “Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth’s Climate Engine.”

This NASA-created fulldome, high-resolution movie describes how the sun generates a protective “bubble” around our solar system, repelling some of the nastiest interstellar high-energy cosmic rays. However, our protector has an angry side.
