"Space weather might seem remote, and it is... but it can still affect our planet. Sunspots can help us predict space weather. Of course, the sun's not out at night. So we'll be looking to other stars, in hopes that they'll have their own stories to tell... We can forecast the weather around other stars by searching for starspots."
Professor Sinistra regarding space weather[src]
