An example of space weather: Aurora australis in the Earth's atmosphere observed by Space Shuttle Discovery, May 1991. Space weather is the environmental condition within the Solar System, including the solar wind. It is studied especially surrounding the Earth, including conditions from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere and thermosphere.
