Ionosphere Total Electron Content - April 2001 |
| Abstract |
A view of the ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) measured over North America during a storm in April 2001. Red is high electron counts, blue is low, grey where there is no data. From the pre-storm state, we see relatively low electron counts . As the storm intensity increases, so do the number of electrons. The increase will generate more interference for communications systems, GPS, etc. |

Zoom-in to plasmapause-induced TEC enhancement - April 2001 (Version 2) |
| Abstract |
Space weather events which disturb the plasmapause (displayed here as a green surface enclosing the Earth) can propagate down to the Earth's ionosphere. There they enhance the ionosphere electron content which can disrupt radio signals from satellites. This movie is a variation on animation ID 3311 with slightly different camera motions. |

Inspection of the Coating on
| Name of Image |
Inspection of the Coating on the Starshine Mirrors |
| Date of Image |
2001-04-01 |
| Full Description |
In this photograph, Vince Huegele of the Marshall Space Flight Center's (MSFC's) Space Optics Manufacturing Technology Center (SOMTC) inspects the coating on the mirrors for Starshine 3, a satellite that resembles a high-tech disco ball that was placed into Earth orbit. The sphere, which is covered by hundreds of quarter-sized mirrors that reflect sunlight to observers on the ground, helps students study the effects of solar activity on the Earth's atmosphere. Ed White Middle School in Huntsville, Alabama is among 500 schools worldwide whose students helped grind and polish mirrors for the Starshine 3 satellite as a part of the Starshine Project. The total of up to 1,500 mirrors will improve the sunlight flash rate and make the satellite more visible at twilight as it orbits the Earth. These mirrors have been coated with a scratch-resistant, anti-oxidizing layer of silicon dioxide by optical engineers and technicians at the Hill Air Force Base in Utah and MSFC. Starshine-3 was launched on an Athena I unmarned launch vehicle out of the Kodiak Launch Complex, Alaska, on September 29, 2001. Starshine 3 is nearly 37 inches (1 meter) in diameter, weighs 200 pounds (91 kilograms), and carries 1500 mirrors that were polished by approximately 40,000 students in 1,000 schools in 30 countries. Three small, optically-reflective spherical Starshine student satellites have been designed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and built by an informal volunteer coalition of organizations and individuals in the U.S. and Canada. This coalition, called Project Starshine, is headquartered in Monument, Colorado. |

Shelf Cloud Over Saskatchewa
| Title |
Shelf Cloud Over Saskatchewan |
| Explanation |
Perhaps it's time to go inside. Such thoughts might occur to people witnessing the approach of an impressive shelf cloud [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelf_cloud ]. Shelf clouds are typically seen leading thunderstorms [ http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/faq/faq_tst.php ], although they may precede [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gust_front ] any well defined front of relatively cold air. Shelf clouds [ http://www.targetarea.net/photoshe.html ] differ from roll clouds [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060117.html ] because shelf clouds are attached to a larger cloud system lurking above. Similarly, shelf clouds [ http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/cloudpic1.html ] differ from wall clouds because wall clouds typically trail storm system [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cl0aw87LqA ]s. The above pictured shelf cloud [ http://www.crh.noaa.gov/sgf/?n=photos_shelfclouds ] was photographed toward the southwest during a trip crossing the prairies of Saskatchewan [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasketchewan ], Canada [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada ] on the Trans-Canada Highway [ http://www.jpgmag.com/stories/1598 ] in 2001 August. A rising Sun [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050503.html ] illuminated the impressive cloud [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050821.html ] from the east as it advanced from the west. |

KamLAND Verifies the Sun
| Title |
KamLAND Verifies the Sun |
| Explanation |
A large sphere beneath Japan has helped verify humanity's understanding of the inner workings of the Sun [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap971028.html ]. The KamLAND sphere [ http://kamland.lbl.gov/Pictures/ ], shown above during construction in 2001, fails to detect [ http://hep.stanford.edu/neutrino/KamLAND/Nontechnical/detection.html ] fundamental particles [ http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/frameless/fundamental.html ] called anti-neutrinos [ http://hep.stanford.edu/neutrino/KamLAND/Nontechnical/intro.html ] that are known to be emitted by nearby nuclear reactors around Japan [ http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ja.html ]. This triumphant failure can best be explained by neutrinos oscillating [ http://hep.stanford.edu/neutrino/KamLAND/Nontechnical/oscillations.html ] between different types. KamLAND [ http://hep.stanford.edu/neutrino/KamLAND/ ]'s results bolster previous neutrino oscillation [ http://www.ps.uci.edu/~superk/nuosc.html ] claims including that from the Sudbury detector [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010710.html ], a similar large sphere [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010225.html ] beneath Canada [ http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html ] designed to detect all types of neutrinos [ http://www.ps.uci.edu/~superk/neutrino.html ] from the Sun [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980605.html ]. Thus, leading astrophysicists now consider the long standing solar neutrino deficit problem [ http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/solar_neutrino.html ] as finally solved. A new mystery that replaces it is to find a new Standard Model [ http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/frameless/standard_model.html ] for particle physics [ http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/ ] that fully explains neutrino oscillations. |
