A program from the cycle of programs "Russian Cosmos" for the Galaxy TV channel.
Recently, the media has been increasingly talking about the Sun: our luminary has entered its maximum, and the peak of its activity, according to scientists, will be just in 2012-2013.
Sunspots and magnetic storms have long been commonplace in weather forecasts.
What does solar-terrestrial physics study?
What is "space weather"?
How do solar storms and wind affect the planet and man?
And what can we expect from the Sun - global warming or a new ice age?
These and other questions are answered by the head of the laboratory of theoretical and experimental study of the solar wind and its influence on near-Earth space of the Institute of Space Research (ICI RAS) Yuri Ermolaev.
