| The
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has loaned a full scale
engineering model of its Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS)
to the Boston Museum of Science as part
of its Sun-Earth Day
activities. The model was
used during the development of the UVCS
instrument that is currently operating on the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (SOHO)
satellite. The model was installed on March 8 and
was on display for Sun-Earth Day (March 20, 2002) where many museum
visitors were able to hear talks about space weather and scientific
results from UVCS and SOHO.
Educational CD-ROMS, posters, and
stickers were also distributed. The
UVCS exhibit will be on
display
until early April and possibly longer. |
