SDO, (Solar Dynamics Observatory)

Guest_PhilCo126_*	Feb 4 2010, 11:02 AM Post #1
Guests	So it's fingers crossed for the Solar Dynamics Observatory, destined to help the predictions of "space weather". SDO promises to become an exciting mission as an orbiting solar observatory with multiple high-definition telescopes has never been attempted before… The prelaunch readiness press conference will be held at 1 p.m. EST, on Monday, 8th February 2010 from the Kennedy Space Center News Center. It will be immediately followed by the SDO science briefing, both briefings will be broadcast live on NASA Television. Launch is set for 9th February 2010 (10:30 – 11:30 a.m. EST).

Just stunning. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
