Abstract:Enjoy the solar system's greatest pyrotechnic show presented by the Sun! While the Sun generally provides a warm glow each day, occasionally it rudely belches out charged particles and radiation in the form of coronal mass ejections (cmes), flares, and prominences. Join us as we explore these phenomena, including what causes them, how to predict them, a historical perspective on recorded events, and how they may impact the habitability of planets.
