A New Way For People To See The Sun

NASA Awards Grant to Chabot Space & Science Center For Space Weather Exhibition

“The centerpiece of the exhibition will be compelling high resolution imagery of the Sun from NASA’s SDO mission, provided to Chabot by Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory. The mesmerizing visualizations of eruptions, flares, prominences, and coronal mass ejections are all the result of colossal magnetic disturbances taking place right next to our planet. Interactive stations in the exhibition will illustrate the outcome of solar storms, displaying colorful aurora, and forecasting geomagnetic storm warnings.”
