How Space Weather Affects Satellite Orbits — and How to Model It | Brian Douglas

It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for the week of May 1 - 7:•2 M-class flares•2 C-class flares•29 coronal mass ejections•1 geomagnetic stormThis video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. It has been a relatively quiet week on the Sun, with the two M-class flares erupting off the Sun’s western limb (right side from SDO’s view) and not producing much impact on Earth.
