Scientists using NASA’s IMAGE mission and the
joint ESA/NASA Cluster mission will present new
findings that resolve a long-standing controversy
into how the solar wind interacts with the Earth’s
magnetosphere and how this interaction affects space
weather. The findings will be presented during a
Space Science Update (SSU) at 1:00 p.m. EST, Dec. 3,
2003. The SSU is in NASA’s Webb Auditorium, 300 E
Street S.W., Washington. The briefing will be
carried live on NASA Television with two-way
question-and-answer capability from participating
NASA centers.
