HELIOPHYSICS PICTURE OF THE WEEK Our Interplanetary Environment Even the most quiet and sparse locations in space can be full of activity. A lot of interesting space weather effects occur in interplanetary space and on other planets. This poster was specially designed to represent one of the IHY science team activities. Other posters are available for download here.

IHY OBSERVATORY OF THE WEEK Cluster Over the past 50 years, we have learned that space is full of activity that occurs on many spatial scales. The 4 spacecraft of the Cluster mission were launched in 2000 to study the dynamics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. The spacecraft fly in formation, which allows scientists to analyze data from all four locations to determine the spatial and dynamic variability of magnetospheric phenomena.

IHY ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK Drawing space A great way to learn about the space environment is to visualize it for yourself. Children from around the world have created many beautiful and interesting artistic depictions of our heliophysical environment. If you need ideas or inspiration, take a look at the IHY Children's Artwork Gallery.
