Solar stormwatchers..THIS is for you!

This is an out standing site where you participate in judging, mapping and classifying solar flares. It's parent site is zoouniverse.org

from the site:We've just launched a new project inspired by the success of your work at Galaxy Zoo. www.solarstormwatch.com... invites all of you to assist scientists studying storms that eject millions of tonnes of matter from the Sun's surface as they spread out throughout the inner solar system.

Solar Stormwatch volunteers can spot these storms and track their progress across space towards the Earth. Such storms can be harmful to astronauts in orbit and have the potential to knock out communication satellites, disrupt mobile phone networks and damage power lines. With the public's help, Solar Stormwatch will allow solar scientists to better understand these potentially dangerous storms and help to forecast their arrival time at Earth.

The more people looking at the beautiful videos collected from NASA's STEREO spacecraft, the more discoveries we will make. If you want to take part, do log on to www.solarstormwatch.com....

The project is part of our Zooniverse network of sites, and we hope through your efforts it'll produce as much exciting science as Galaxy Zoo has done.

GREAT photos...even a little training...they have other projects as well you can participate in.

Have fun!
