Message from the researcher
"Why are some storms so complex? I would love to find out!" - Chris Scott, University of Reading
Chris ScottAbout Protect Our Planet From Solar Storms
With the launch of the STEREO spacecraft in 2006, the unique cameras on board were able to image solar storms in much greater detail than ever before. Some storms seem very simple in structure - like light bulbs - while others look much more complex, as if they have shattered! Does a storm's complexity influence how likely they are to cause disruption at Earth? By deciding which storms look the most complex, you can help us investigate their impact and ultimately give the people who run our power and communication systems more time to prepare.
