We track weather on Earth every day. But what about weather in space? Solar storms, radiation bursts, and space weather events can affect satellites, GPS, flights, and communication systems. The question is: Can we predict these events before they impact Earth? In this Global Astronomy Month conversation, we speak with Dibyendu Nandi, a scientist who studies solar cycles and the predictability of space weather. In this episode, we explore: β’ What space weather actually is and how it originates from the Sun β’ How solar cycles influence storms and radiation events β’ How accurately scientists can predict solar activity today β’ The limits of current models and why uncertainty still exists What future advancements may change in space weather forecasting Global Astronomy Month is not just about looking at the universe. It is about understanding how it affects us. Because space is not far away. Its impact is already here.
