Space mission
ACE (Advanced Composition Explorer)
A NASA mission at the Sun–Earth L1 point that measures the solar wind and energetic particles upstream of Earth, giving roughly an hour of warning before disturbances reach the planet.

Visual knowledge graph
Relationships, not isolated facts
This viewport is generated from the Asteria knowledge graph. Science, culture, and interpretive links remain separated by domain so visual context never changes the evidentiary meaning of a relation.

Curated next objects
Solar Wind
The continuous stream of charged particles — mostly protons and electrons — that flows outward from the Sun's corona at hundreds of kilometres per second, filling the Solar System and shaping planetary magnetospheres.
radiation environmentSolar Energetic Particles (SEP)
Bursts of high-energy particles accelerated by solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Unlike the steady galactic cosmic rays, SEP events are sudden and can deliver a dangerous radiation dose to astronauts within hours.
planetEarth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only world known to support life.
geomagnetic indexNOAA S-Scale (Solar Radiation Storms)
NOAA's five-level scale for solar radiation (energetic-particle) storms, from S1 to S5, describing the radiation hazard to astronauts, high-altitude flights, and spacecraft.
space missionDSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory)
A NOAA/NASA mission at the Sun–Earth L1 point that provides real-time solar-wind measurements for operational space-weather forecasting, along with full-disc images of Earth.
space missionParker Solar Probe
Parker Solar Probe is a NASA spacecraft launched in 2018 to fly through the Sun's outer atmosphere, making the closest approaches to the Sun of any spacecraft.
