SPACE WEATHER BALLOON DATA: Almost once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with sensors that detect secondary cosmic rays, a form of radiation from space that can penetrate all the way down to Earth's surface.
Editor's Note: Space weather forecasts that appear on this site are based in part on data from NASA and NOAA satellites and ground-monitoring stations. Predictions and explanations are formulated by Dr. Tony Phillips; they are not official statements of any government organ or guarantees of space weather activity.

Space weather is a relatively new field of science dedicated to the study of these interactions between the Sun and the Earth. Practitioners of space weather attempt to predict solar flares, coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms and other space-related phenomena. The official U.S. government bureau for space weather forecasting is the ...
Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect ...
The Boulder number (reported daily on SpaceWeather.com) is usually about 25% higher than the second official index, the "International Sunspot Number," published daily by the Solar Influences Data Center in Belgium. Both the Boulder and the International numbers are calculated from the same basic formula, but they incorporate data from ...

Notas: DL significa "Distancia Lunar." 1 DL= 384,401 km, que es la distancia entre la Tierra y la Luna. 1 LD también equivale a 0.00256 UA.MAG es la magnitud visual del asteroide en la fecha de máximo acercamiento.. ECLIPSE LUNAR: El 15 de mayo, los observadores del cielo desde Norteamérica hasta Europa vieron a la usualmente brillante Luna llena, desaparecer tras de la sombra de la Tierra ...
