  • Swirls of green and red in an aurora over Whitehorse, Yukon on the night of September 3, 2012. The aurora was due to the interaction of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun with Earth’s magnetosphere. The CME left the sun on August 31 and arrived on September 3.

  • SOHO/LASCO C3 image showing comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) on February 18, 2003, one of the brightest comets observed by SOHO. Scientists were very interested in studying how the comet and its tail reacted to the strong CME that blasted out in its direction. Courtesy of SOHO/LASCO (ESA & NASA).
  • SDO/AIA multiwavelength extreme ultraviolet image of the Sun taken on March 30, 2010. False colors trace different gas temperatures. Reds are relatively cool (about 60,000 Kelvin); blues and greens are hotter (greater than 1 million Kelvin). Credits of SDO/AIA (NASA).
  • STEREO-A/HI2 image showing the result of a micrometer impact that occurred on May 6, 2016. A small dust particle hit the thermal blanket at high velocity near the telescope, and sent out a spray of tiny debris particles. The telescope was in a rare single-image mode, and the exposure time was 50 seconds, so the ejected blanket particles show up as long streaks. Courtesy of STEREO/HI (NASA).

According to what defines the difference between “planets” and “solar system bodies”, our Solar System may consist of 12 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon and 2003 UB313.

  • The underlying inspiration for the poster logo comes from both the topic of our conference, space weather, where the Sun is center-stage, and the conference location in Devon, UK. Since the rise of seaside resorts with the arrival of the railways in the 19th century, Devon’s economy has been heavily reliant on tourism. The sunburst logo design is inspired by vintage british touristic posters, and is reminiscent of 19th century Art Deco sunburst, used for instance in the local award winning Dartmouth Steam Railway & Boat attraction, with a ray-widening sunburst in their iconic poster. To be more precise, the conference poster shows two seasons in the activity cycle of the Sun, to represent the changes in space weather. The two-season logo is reminiscent of a 1922 London Underground Museum Poster by British artist Albert E. Fruin.
