St Petersburg University new online course: How does space weather affect us?
Life on our planet has been shaped by the Sun. We continue to adapt to and fit ourselves into its rhythms.
Poor health, migraine headaches, insomnia − many people often blame magnetic storms for these unpleasant conditions.
Did you know that:
- magnetic storms are particularly dangerous for those suffering from hypertension and hypotension, and heart diseases
- about 70% of heart attacks, hypertensive crises and strokes occur precisely during solar storms
- statistics show that the number of road accident victims increases during geocosmic storms
- between 50% and 75% of people are affected by magnetic storms, according to various sources
- younger people are almost unaffected by magnetic storms?
While the theory of the impact of magnetic storms on human health has its detractors, it is simply impossible to deny the impact of solar events and other cosmic phenomena on the planet as a whole − these are scientifically proven facts.
This is exactly what you can learn about in the St Petersburg University online course "Space Weather: Environmental Impact Assessment", which is now also available in English.
