                       Week 1 (Apr. 5)

    INTRODUCTION
  
      These weekly voyages will include video clips, an
      overview of what we have learned and are leaning about 
      each of eight bodies in our solar system, and include
      resources for those who want to learn more. With time
      for your questions.

    Magnetic Memory: New model forecasts solar stormsThe model predicts
    that solar activity won't begin rising until late 2008--as much as
    a year later than the sun's standard cycle would forecast. Furthermore,
    the next entire cycle of solar activity will be 30 to 50 percent
    stronger than the current one, according to the new model.

    Ulysses spacecraft's unique orbit over the solar poles -- The primary 
    mission of the Ulysses spacecraft was to characterize the heliosphere 
    as a function of solar latitude.

    STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is the third mission
    in NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program (STP). This two-year mission
    will provide a unique and revolutionary view of the Sun-Earth System.
    The two nearly identical observatories -- one ahead of Earth in its
    orbit, the other trailing behind, will trace the flow of energy
    and matter from the Sun to Earth as well as reveal the 3D structure of
    coronal mass ejections and help us understand why they happen.
