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." John
Fitzgerald Kennedy 12 Sept, 1962

The Sun - Driver of the Weather
![]() The Sun - extreme UV - 171 ångström - 1,000,000 K Click the image to get the "multi frequency sun" page CCD Bakeout??? Not your backyard BBQ |
![]() The Sun - Continuum - about what it would look like 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) |
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)
The Area around the sun - Watch for CME and Comets!
Sometimes Planets can be seen passing through the view. The random
streaks are Cosmic Ray Strikes
Use the Sky
Map at Fourmilab.ch to find
out what planets are wandering through

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!)

One of the many ports to take you to Antarctica! Hobart is where many explorers headed south from, and returned to. Mawson had one end of his communication system just to the right and uphill from the bridge. | |

Weather Underground, Graphic Converter (Mac) Australian Antarctic
Division, New Zealand Antarctic, US NPS, various Mauna Kea Firefox (Win - Mac - Lin) observatories. The URLs
from them can tell you where I got them. - if they are yours and you
object to the way I'm using them for my Google Earth (now with
Mars, Moon&Sky
too!) - classes - drop a line and
