This
video program allows visitors to access spectacular imagery of the
Sun from NASA spacecraft. Visitors can see sunspots and solar flares
close-up, and see the sun in amazing extreme ultraviolet and X-ray
images. They can marvel at magnetic loops and watch massive solar
eruptions. One can also see how solar activity differs during solar
minimum and solar maximum, and watch as the Sun swallows a comet.
Sun-Earth Connections
This
high-resolution video presentation features stunning footage of
how solar activity impacts Earth. The video includes clips showing
how coronal mass ejections explode away from the Sun, travel through
space and interact with Earth's magnetosphere -- our magnetic shield
that protects us from dangerous solar wind radiation. This video
allows the visitor to sample the greatest light show on Earth -
the spectacular swirling and shimmering aurora -- through the lens
of an IMAX camera taken in Greenland! One can also see a model simulation
of a magnetic storm and listen to a space weather report given by
Bob Ryan, meteorologist from NBC TV in Washington DC.
