NASA's twin TRACERS satellites launched from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Wednesday. The satellites will study how to protect Earth from the space weather surrounding the planet.

The same charged particles from the Sun’s atmosphere responsible for the northern lights can also damage Earth’s electrical and communications systems.

The mission will help better predict how energy from the sun affects life on Earth, including disruptions to satellites, power grids and astronauts.
