WASI Special Interest Session— DIY Monitoring of Space Weather

WASI Special Interest Session— DIY Monitoring of Space Weather

We’re currently about at the peak of the sun’s 11-year solar cycle. Members have expressed interest in having an educational meeting about ways to monitor “space weather” - the sea of particles the sun ejects that impact the Earth.

Did you see the wonderful aurora in October? That was the result of the solar wind, the protons and electrons hurled at us by the sun, and there’s a reasonable chance we’ll see more of those over the next year or two.

And did you know you can build simple devices to detect space weather and predict auroras?

Join us 7:00 PM Wednesday, April 23, at Bear Branch Nature Center for an hour or so to learn all about solar flares, auroras, monitoring space weather, and how to build and use monitoring devices.

Bring your curiosity and your questions for this session. We promise there will be no math and the content will be accessible to all.
