NASA To Offer Explanation Of The Missing SunspotsWashington DC (SPX) Mar 1, 2011 NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 3, to discuss the first computer model that explains the recent period of decreased solar activity during the Sun's 11-year cycle. The recent solar minimum, a period characterized by a lower frequency of sunspots and solar storms, ended in 2008 and was the deepest observed in almost 100 years. Teleconference panelists: * Richard Fisher, director, Heliophysics Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washi ... read more |
