Gemini North Telescope Gives Astronomers a Clearer Vision of the Universe | June 25, 1999
At a ceremony in Hawaii today, astronomers revealed some of the sharpest
infrared images ever obtained by a ground-based telescope. These first
high-resolution images from the new Gemini North Observatory show the
remarkable power of the telescope's technologies, which minimize
distortions that have blurred astronomical images since Galileo first
pointed a telescope skyward almost 400 years ago. more...

The Suns of M67 | June 1, 1999
Dr. Mark Giampapa of the National Science Foundation's National Solar Observatory in Tucson,
Arizona, has determined that the Sun is in a relatively moderate state of activity. Giampapa's
observations of Sun-like stars in M67 suggest that about 40% of the time the Sun is likely
to be either significantly more, or significantly less, active. A change to either of these
states is likely to cause significant changes in the Earth's climate. more...

"Rush to the Poles" Predicts Coming Solar Max | May 31, 1999
The Sun is known to exhibit a maximum of activity, including solar flares and an increased number of sunspots and coronal mass ejections, approximately every 11 years. Dr. Richard C. Altrock announces today his prediction that the next solar maximum will occur between January and April of 2000 based on a new method employing daily observations of high latitude coronal activity. more...
