I'm happy to report that the SED Webcast from March 20th was a great success! It featured variety of scientists who gave us a peak into "what they do" and the latest information on Space Weather. I also have to give a special thanks to students from Wheeling West Virginia's Challenger Center who dazzled us with their enactment of a future space weather report as if it were being given from a future base on the moon.

The ancient art of storytelling has been used by almost every culture as a way to teach, explain or to instill knowledge. It is also an amazing way to peak the imagination through words, images and sounds.

With the help of thousands of scientists and observers across the centuries, our knowledge of the sun an its connection of the earth has expanded our minds. As we look to the future we can only wonder what awaits us.
