Sun and Geosphere is a peer-reviewed international journal published by the Balkan, Black Sea and Caspian Sea Regional Network on Space Weather Studies (BBC SWS Regional Network).

The BBC SWS Regional Network was founded in June 2005 by decision of the "IHY Regional planning meeting for the Balkan and Black Sea region", Sozopol, Bulgaria, 6-8 June 2005 (see Protocol). In this protocol as item 3 (below the MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING) is written "The Regional Network will publish an International referred Scientific Journal SUN and GEOSPHERE with international editorial board. Proceedings the Meeting will be published in the first issue of this Journal".

The first issue of the magazine was printed in early 2006 in Baku Azarbeydzhan. First Editor-in-Chief was Elchin Babayev from ShAMAKHY Astrophysical Observatory ShAO. He is now Honorary Editor.
