Foundations of Space Physics invites you to explore this hidden universe. Designed for beginners, the course transforms complex concepts into stories you can visualize, making plasma physics, radiation belts, and magnetospheres both approachable and exciting. You’ll journey from Earth’s protective magnetic shield to the far reaches of interplanetary space, discovering how:
- The Sun’s solar wind drives space weather that can disrupt satellites and power grids.
- The Earth’s magnetosphere acts as a cosmic shield, protecting life while creating breathtaking auroras.
- Invisible cosmic rays and high-energy particles shape both technology and human exploration in space.
By the end, you won’t just understand the physics — you’ll see space through a new lens, where every storm, glow, and particle has a story to tell. Whether you dream of working with satellites, studying astrophysics, or simply understanding the universe more deeply, this course gives you the foundation to begin.
