We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because the challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win...
...Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there."

Where is ISS
This is where the International Space Station is Currently
dotted line means it is in shadow, continuous line means its in sunlight. It is moving to the right.
When you are in the dark, and ISS is in the light, (and close by) you can often see it!

Sunspots near the equator are Cycle 23 spots - farther North or South are new Cycle 24 spots
What Does a Spotted Sun Look Like? (from 2001 - the last peak)

rotating sun from STEREO

The sun according to STEREO - a pair of spacecraft "ahead" and"behind" the Earth's orbit,
to allow more of the sun to be seen. In the EUV at 195 ångström (similar to the SOHO image)

Sometimes Planets can be seen passing through the view. The random streaks are Cosmic Ray Strikes

Solar Flux -a measure of the energy coming to us from the sun,shows how active the sun is
A is a moving average of the K,
K is a measure of the Geomagnetic activity (a good aurora predictor!)
