Their violent nature and influence on Earth were realized in 1859 when English astronomer R. Carrington suddenly saw an unexpected brightening on the Sun. Lasting only a few minutes on the Sun, the event was followed by intense space weather with auroras seen as far south as Hawaii, and by failures of telegraph systems, whose operators suffered from electric shocks.<br>Research in flare physics has determined that the energy stored in the solar magnetic field is powering the eruptions. Particles accelerated during magnetic reconnection events precipitate into interplanetary space, but also towards the solar surface where they cause many observable phenomena, such as heating, mass motions, and emission in the whole electromagnetic spectrum. Large solar eruptions are the main causes of severe space weather events, which can affect satellites and communication. In this presentation, I will give a closer look on the origins of space weather and the current research on solar flares.<div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_lik9c17t0" alt="ISWI Seminar Series (2).png" width="534" height="534"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>-------------------------------------------</div><div><div><font face="times new roman, serif"><b>Dra.
