The Sun is over a million times bigger than the Earth! But it is so far from our planet that it looks small in the sky. Even at that great distance, the Sun influences us in myriad ways. Space Weather Explorers Week is a collection of lessons and activities about the Sun-Earth connection. Several times each year you can interact with NASA scientists and ask them questions. Our next 2025 live week will be April 21 – 25. Ask questions of scientists on Discord and in our Live webinar with Dr. Lisa Upton on Thursday, April 24th at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern time. Dr. Upton will discuss the cycle of sunspot activity and the current solar maximum!
