We once were excited about the unknown, relishing every opportunity to turn a new corner, eager to see what lay ahead on the horizon. We've orbited the Earth, walked on the moon and used great machines to see into the far expanses of the Universe. There is so much left to be learned. NASA has been facing massive bugget cuts over the past ten years. Visit theskyiscalling.us to tell Congress that you want more money to be diverted to the program. -- AD: Lauren Geschke | cargocollective.com/laurengeschke CW: Nickolaus Sugai | nicksugai.com Music: Broken Dreams by UNKLE youtube.com/watch?v=RIvcZmSyUL0 Footage: CASSINI MISSION vimeo.com/24410924 Lifetime Collective FM vimeo.com/34522965 Tree of Life (Terrance Malick) youtube.com/watch?v=JmnYqKl1LzE Bluebird vimeo.com/35839533 The Expanding Universe youtube.com/watch?v=LsPqeS5I_QM&feature=related Pathfinder youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BZpSS4ALKd4 Civil Rights Heroes youtube.com/watch?v=eZhFKV4Q40U&feature=related Right Here All Over vimeo.com/30081785 Where Do We Go From Here? vimeo.com/30778727 Wet on Wet vimeo.com/24741201 Voyagers vimeo.com/13087961 A Blast From The Past: Shuttle Through The Decades vimeo.com/26162174 Yosemite HD vimeo.com/35396305 M A U S I - sol vimeo.com/27889463 PHANTOM WATER EDIT vimeo.com/30830412 *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Permanent Tag: Science Rating: Good Hits: 226 Comments: 0 Science Bulletins: Space Weather Science Bulletins: Space Weather Every 11 years, the magnetic poles of the Sun reverse and start a cycle of high surface activity (flares, CMEs, etc). Space weather has been in the news for the past several days. Once upon a time, back in the twentieth century, the weather was straightforward: it rained or snowed, skies were sunny or cloudy. However, in the twenty-first century—the era of globalization and digitalization—a whole new kind weather is critical to consider: space weather. Space weather is direct product of our local star, the Sun. The Sun continuously sheds its skin, blowing a fierce wind of charged particles in all directions, including Earth's. From time to time, storms on the Sun's surface—solar flares, coronal mass ejections—toss off added masses of energy and ions. When that turbulence slams into Earth, it produces space weather. The consequences can be spectacular, from colorful auroras to satellite, power and communications failures. Space weather isn't new: the Sun has buffeted Earth with solar particles since the planet first formed. What has changed is society. This feature reveals how our increasing use of satellite technology has made us vulnerable to solar storms, and how solar scientists—"space weathermen"—are learning how to predict and forecast the Sun's activity. Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.
