Space Weather News for Feb. 29, 2016
http://spaceweather.com
 
SPHERICAL CAMERA AT THE EDGE OF SPACE: On Feb. 27th, Spaceweather.com and the 
students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched a space weather balloon to monitor 
increasing levels of cosmic rays in the stratosphere.  The payload carried 
something new: a spherical camera.  Visit Spaceweather.com to view the first 
interactive 3D images of the edge of space.
 
CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of minor geomagnetic 
storms on March 1st when a solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's 
magnetic field.  Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
 
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by The Professor's Telescope, a 
series of novels blending factual science and adventure into an engaging story 
with family values.
