The SPACE WEATHER CD answers questions about what space weather is and what it does in space and here on Earth.
It includes our SPACE WEATHER software that displays movies and images of the aurora and of the Sun in various wavelengths from the ground and from orbiting NASA spacecraft; a tutorial about what space weather is and how the aurora is formed; and much more! You'll also find real-time space weather conditions from current satellite missions and can download the latest data from our servers without leaving the application.
A TicTacToe game is also included that tests space weather knowledge.
The CD brings you many other Space Weather resources, programs, sounds, and games for use at home or school, and there are several educational websites included in full on the CD for offline viewing.
