Overview

Forecast: 100% Chance of Fire, With a Possibility of Panic Every day, without asking your permission or checking your calendar, the Sun wakes up and chooses physics. It does not consult your satellite company. It does not care about your power grid, your GPS directions, your airline flight plan, your Mars rover, or your nostalgic fondness for analog wristwatches. It burns, boils, twists magnetic fields into impossible knots, and occasionally hurls several billion tons of electrified plasma into space like a cosmic toddler flinging oatmeal. This book is about that behavior. We call it solar weather because ""ongoing thermonuclear chaos governed by electromagnetism, gravity, and rage"" didn't fit on a TV graphic. Solar weather is the invisible hand that shapes the space around Earth. It lights auroras. It fries satellites. It knocks out radio signals. It gently tickles astronauts and occasionally tries to kill them. It influences climate at the margins, rewrites the radiation environment of entire planets, and reminds advanced technological civilizations that they still live inside a star's extended atmosphere. And here's the joke: for most of human history, we had absolutely no idea this was happening.
