This was a fabulous opportunity to share and educate students, in years 12 and 13, on the Sun and it’s influence on space weather, and what research we do in Sheffield in the way of understanding complex solar events.

[PDG @PDG_UoS]

Matthew Lennard @MatthsNScience presented an excellent talk  “Throwing Computers at the Sun: Understanding Space Weather Using Data” at the Tapton Science Seminars. It was great to see local students turning up and asking enthusiastic questions about the subject.
