[VID=55657]Coronal mass ejections originating from the sun and propagating through interplanetary space are responsible for turbulent space weather. They can have severe effects on Earth, leading to disturbances in air traffic or even causing power outages. Astrid Veronig from the Institute of Physics and Kanzelhöhe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research of the University of Graz studies solar eruptions. A detailed understanding of these high-energy processes will enhance scientists' ability to provide more precise forecasts regarding space weather.
