Iowa Professor Observes Space Weather-Earth Connection
June 2, 2000 — University of Iowa physics professor Jack Scudder said today (Thursday, June 1) that an international team of physicists has significantly advanced mankind's understanding of the northern lights ... > full story -
Improving Space Weather Forecasting By Detecting Active Regions On The Far Side Of The Sun
April 17, 2000 — Scientists have devised a method to detect sunspots on the far side of the Sun, before they rotate toward Earth, potentially causing communications disruptions. They do so by detecting the alpha ... > full story -
Some Coronal Mass Ejections Are Caused By Shock Waves From Solar Flares In Other Regions Of The Sun
April 4, 2000 — Scientists have discovered that some CMEs are caused by solar flares not directly under them. Shock waves from the flares cross an interconnecting loop of solar material, causing it to eject hot ... > full story -
New Observations Of Sun's Interior Shed Light On Magnetic Field Activity
March 31, 2000 — Scientists have detected changes in the rotation rates of violent, charged gases some 130,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface, a finding that may help them better understand the physical ... > full story -
Holes In Sun's Corona Linked To Atmospheric Temperature Changes On Earth
March 15, 2000 — An unusual interdisciplinary study by astronomers and climatologists has found a striking correlation between holes in the outermost layer of the sun--or the corona--and the globally averaged ... > full story -
Scientists "See" Through The Sun To Find Stormy Regions On The Other Side
March 13, 2000 — A week's warning of potential bad weather in space is now possible thanks to a new use of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. Two astrophysicists supported by the National ... > full story -
Storm Warning: Physicist Predicts Solar Damage
March 8, 2000 — Australia's new national power grid and hundreds of satellites orbiting the Earth may have survived a particle explosion in last month's solar storm, but they may not be so lucky next ... > full story -
NASA Scientist Improves Solar Predictions
January 26, 2000 — When the Sun revs up in its 11-year cycle of solar flares and other activity, it can disrupt satellites, cell phones and city power grids. Now a solar physicist at the Marshall Center has a better ... > full story -
Geomagnetic Storms May Kick Off The New Millennium
December 29, 1999 — As though there weren't enough uncertainty about what's going to happen with Y2K, yet another possible problem could occur on that historic transition in time - a geomagnetic storm. ... > full story -
Taking Pictures Of The Invisible Tracking Weather Above The Sky
December 22, 1999 — Using a technique called neutral atom imaging from a satellite high above the North Pole, researchers at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing pictures of the ... > full story
