Description:
The Solar Monitor provides the very latest solar and geophysical data from NASA's observatory SOHO in near real-time.



Unlock the secrets of interaction between Sun and Earth! And be sure that things are getting more and more exciting since the NASA predicts an increasing number of sunspots and solar storms reaching a maximum in 2012/13.



Enjoy the new way of mobile space observation. Nice and simple. Categorized in four sections:



1. MONITOR

Combines EIT telescope views and solar and geophysical data. The current X-Ray Status and Geomagnetic Field Status is displayed.

"The sun is behaving in an unexpected and very interesting way."

says Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA's lead representative on the panel.



"Go ahead and mark your calendar for May 2013," says Pesnell. "But use a pencil."
