What does space weather really mean, and why should scientists and
non-scientists be interested in it? I will discuss what we know and don’t
know about the causes and consequences of space weather, how the
fundamental physics of our heliosphere also applies to astrophysical
objects and exoplanetary systems, and how the lessons learned affect our
technology on the ground and in space.
