Heliophysics Big Year (Official NASA Trailer)

The "Heliophysics Big Year" is an initiative that aims to promote and advance the study of heliophysics, the science of understanding the Sun and its interactions with the solar system. During a Heliophysics Big Year, scientists from around the world come together to conduct intensive observations and research related to the Sun's behavior, solar storms, solar wind, and their impact on Earth and other celestial bodies. This dedicated effort often involves launching new missions, conducting extensive data analysis, and fostering collaboration among experts in the field. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the Sun's complex dynamics and improve our ability to predict and mitigate space weather events that can affect technology, communication, and even human health on Earth and in space.
