10-year plan for space physics put forwardWashington (UPI) Aug 15, 2012 U.S. scientists have released a report recommending research for the next decade on the sun, sun-Earth connections and the origins of "space weather." An 18-month effort by more than 85 solar and space physicists and space system engineers of the National Research Council resulted in the report that lays out four scientific goals in solar and space physics, a release from the National Academy of Sciences said Wednesday. The goals include establishing the origins of the sun's activity and ... read more |
