  2. STEREO: 360° of Sun • Intro to STEREO • STEREO Science – some hits from the last few years • STEREO – All around the Sun • What’s happening • Why its important • Resources

  3. SDO STEREO NASA/GSFC s3_heliocentricFeb2011_6fps.mov

  4. STEREO Science Objectives • Understand the causes and physics of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) • Track how CMEs move through space • Discover the sources of dangerous solar energetic particles (SEPs) • Map the 3D structure of the solar wind STEREO-A/SECCHI s4_prom_20100831a_cor2.mpg

  5. Space Weather Effects • Satellite Damage and Difficulties • Dangers to Astronauts • Communications Black Outs and Radio Difficulties • GPS Errors • Problems with Air Travel Near the Poles • Flow of Currents on Pipelines • Electric Power System Problems • Confused Homing Pigeons

  6. STEREO Imagers (SECCHI) EUVI – Extreme Ultraviolet images Cor1 and Cor2 – Coronagraphs Heliospheric Imagers (HI), imaging the rest of the way from the Sun to Earth orbit

  18. Solar System Wide Coverage of Solar Activity NASA HST Inner solar system solar system out to Saturn Feb. 9, 2011

  19. Sun 360 • Media Events • Press conference:  Feb. 9 at 2:00 PM US Eastern Standard Time http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html?param=public • Twitter session for the public:  Feb. 10, 1:30 -2:30 EST  hashtag #sun360 Resources • Press conference movies • Handout (STEREO_allSun.pdf) • 3D projection: Working with Science on a Sphere (SOS). 10 min cadence movies showing 195 and 304 Å. Please register any events with the Museum Alliance

  20. STEREO on a Smart Phone “3D Sun” on iPhone “Solaris” on Android

  21. What would people use/like? • Flat screen movies showing rotating sun at particular time. • Produce after press conference? • Wavebands? • Number of frames in revolution? • Movie Format (frames, mpg, etc.)? • Projected Maps – good for wrapping over spheres. • SOS uses series of these to make movies. • Smart phone apps use individual ones for their zoom & pan displays • Anyone else want these? If you are interested in these please contact me, Terry.Kucera@nasa.gov
