Aurora Watch
|
Hi all,
So the University has a call list early and late for aurora watch. It is through the electrical engineering / physics department (they usually know when we have had any significant solar flares). I am unsure if it is running. Several students presented a new system to alert those interested at the recent engineering fair. I will post more as the system develops.
Here's something from the electrical engineeering department at MSU:

Montana State University professor Joseph Shaw and two of his students built an aurora borealis detector, then traveled to Alaska to test it during the spring break of 2007.
To view a multimedia feature about auroras, the detector and the group's trip to Alaska, visit http://www.montana. edu/cpa/gallery/ 080711au/. Above, Joseph Shaw. MSU photo by Kelly Gorham.
Here is what the calling tree looks like - you could set one up to with homeschoolers - just a thought. http://www.coe.montana.edu/ee/jshaw/ auroratree_ ece.pdf email me at kim@snider.ws if you are interested in being on a homeschool calling tree. |
