From here, use the links below to reach web sites that offer background information on basic concepts in solar and heliospheric physics, magnetospheric physics, and aeronomy. Listings are organized into five topics: the ionosphere, the aurora, the magnetosphere, the Sun, and "space weather." Sites that provide information about several or all of these topics are also listed separately on a page devoted to comprehensive sites. A brief site description, along with a link to the site, is included for each listing.
