    Background:

    Location: The Sun

    Episodic solar activity has a number of effects that are of interest to us. A radiation dose from energetic particles is an occasional hazard for astronauts and for electronics on satellites. Geomagnetic field disturbances may damage power systems, disrupt communications, degrade high-tech navigation systems, or create the spectacular aurora (Northern and Southern lights). Space weather can disrupt satellite operations, navigation, electric power, radio communications, geophysical exploration and much more. 

    Challenge Description:

    Create a physical or virtual representation of these invisible (to the human eye) phenomena that can affect so many vital terrestrial activities.

    Functional Specifications:

    Use data from STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) to inform the creation of a physical object that displays solar activity. A creative example would be a glass ball of yellow light that changed subtly to give indication of solar activity.

    Alternatively, you may create a piece of software or visualization that utilized STEREO data to represent invisible solar phenomena.
