Project Description:
This poster explores space weather, illustrating how solar wind and magnetic fields create auroras, bridging NASA and Navajo knowledge. By observing Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, this resource highlights the science of electromagnetic shields protecting planetary atmospheres from harsh solar radiation. It connects NASA’s study of the heliosphere and charged particles with Navajo concepts of balance, showing how these dynamic cosmic forces interact.
