Cold feet...

NASA will hold a media teleconference tomorrow, Sept. 23, at 12:30 p.m. EDT, to discuss data from the joint NASA and European Space Agency Ulysses mission that points out to the fact that our sun's solar wind is at a 50-year low.

According to NASA's press release, this situation might lead to the alteration of, not just the Earth, but the solar system's conditions.

Present at the conference will be Ed Smith, NASA Ulysses project scientist and magnetic field instrument investigator, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., Dave McComas, Ulysses solar wind instrument principal investigator, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Karine Issautier, Ulysses radio wave lead investigator, Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, France, Nancy Crooker, Research Professor, Boston University, Boston, Mass.
