In August 1972, the Sun unleashed powerful solar flares between the Apollo 16 and 17 missions — a near miss for lunar explorers.

The Sun's activity can drive a powerful source of radiation — solar energetic particles. We’re safe here on Earth: Our planet’s magnetic field deflects most solar particles, and our atmosphere quells any particles that make it through. But beyond Earth’s magnetic reach, human explorers in space can face this harsh radiation.

Almost 50 years since those 1972 storms, the data, technology and resources available to NASA have improved, enabling advancements towards space weather forecasts and astronaut protection — key to NASA’s Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield) 更年期に悩んだら

amirazhar1985 don't lie to the people, humans have never landed on the moon ... if there is, there must be a 2,3,4 and so on landers, especially in this sophisticated era why nasa does not show any direct instructions to the world community

surj02 Its easy to forget how hostile the environment in space is,but surely there must be something that can deflect solar rays from the sun,otherwise how is having a precence on #mars possible?👽

muntezer7 Everyone knows it's a lie.. In the Cold War they used a lie to climb the moon, but now they can't lie.. On the whole the filming place and the photographer is wonderful😂😂

historynick Number 3 seems like a space version of “Duck and Cover.” Can you say more about these bags and how they could protect astronauts?

purpeline @ldenisel not gonna lie, for a split second I thought all the measuring instruments in the back was a drum set 😅
