• Real-time Weather & Remote Sensing
  These links in the "Eyes in the Sky" section are to various weather and remote sensing satellites that provide a continual stream of earth imagery. The imagery can include the usual type of TV weathersat pictures but many RS satellites also provide views in other wavelengths or in specialized bandwidths that display unique information. For example, one satellites might display the current ocean temperatures and another show the earth's cloud cover.

• Solar Stormwatch - Members of the general public can participate in this project and help solar scientists spot and track gigantic solar storms, some of which might impact the earth and cause electrical problems:

  Solar scientists need you! Help them spot explosions on the Sun and track them across space to Earth. Your work will give astronauts an early warning if dangerous solar radiation is headed their way. And you could make a new scientific discovery.
