This wall of undisturbed snow, back lit by sunlight, shows the striations of winter and summer snow, layer upon layer.

It's actually using a laser to fuse the new layer of material to the old layer.

So if I put this inside this water here, you can see a silver reflective coating around it, and that silver reflective coating is the layer of air that's protecting the water from touching the paddle, and it's dry.

This is what an aura looks like.

And this is very important light to capture, because this is the light that reflects off the first surface of the skin.

(f) Solar and Heliospheric Obsevatory Mission (SOHO UVCS)

At the Andøya Rocket Range, scientific rockets are launched and the international Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere Research (ALOMAR) facility uses light detection and ranging (lidars) to study the middle and upper atmosphere.

And now, this is a picture of atoms in the Sun's atmosphere absorbing light.

Also, the atmosphere has a brightness all of its own, owing in part to scattering of electromagnetic radiation from various sources (such as city lighting, Moon light, auroral type phenomena and lightning).

There could be a silver lining for that global underclass.

SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) designed to observe the sun from its deep interior to its outer regions and the solar wind

Light comes through, it bounces back off the layers it's called thin film interference. Imagine being able to self assemble products with the last few layers playing with light to create color.

And that's a fully developed visual aura, as we see on top.

A book is not only a neat way of collecting and storing information, it's a series of layers.

These had the aim of studying auroral pulsation and making ozone measurements.

(a) To provide benchmark measurements of the response of the magnetosphere, the ionosphere, the lower atmosphere and Earth's surface to heliospheric phenomena, in order to identify global processes and drivers that affected the terrestrial environment and climate

Could the CT Scan prove that Zaizen made a mistake?

The major programmes are Antarctic Magnetosphere Ionosphere Ground base Observations (AMIGO), Southern Hemisphere Auroral Radar Experiment (SHARE) and General Magnetospheric Studies and Ozone Studies.

And why? Because the lowly abalone is able to lay down the calcium carbonate crystals in layers, making this beautiful, iridescent mother of pearl.

So this is the Firefly Phototherapy Device, except this time we didn't stop at the concept car.

And if a cloud goes past, you can see a cloud on the tips where it's letting the light through.

They all started at the bottom, but they had perseverance and drive and vision.

Sweden s second one, is also a scientific satellite designed to carry instruments for research into the aurora and other magnetospheric ionospheric phenomena.

Within the project ENVISAT considerable efforts were undertaken to implement multi colour laser ranging, which should improve laser accuracies by eliminating influences of the dry part of the troposphere.

It's a condensable in the atmosphere, and so recognizing this circumstance brought to the fore a whole world of bizarre possibilities. You can have methane clouds, OK, and above those clouds, you have this hundreds of kilometers of haze, which prevent any sunlight from getting to the surface.

It could also be the sunlight that breaks through the clouds and lights up a patch of the land, highlighting it compared to the dim environment.

There's stromatolites down there the first living things to capture photosynthesis and it's the only place they still occur today.

You could put signed particles, say sulfuric acid particles sulfates into the upper atmosphere, the stratosphere, where they'd reflect away sunlight and cool the planet.

(c) Mission IBIZA registration of the plasma accelerated in the geomagnetic auroral regions, interaction of ionized particles with the ionosphere and magnetosphere of Earth, creation of electromagnetic disturbances

In the past months a nationally funded study has started at EMI to simulate the degradation effects on optical surfaces of optical terminals for communication satellites.

The new ALOMAR lidar observatory for middle atmosphere observations, particularly for continuous ozone measurements, is the object of a great deal of international interest.

In the mesosphere lower thermosphere it was found from spectral analysis that there was some periodicity the longer one of 2 to 10 days and the shorter one of 5 minutes to 24 hours.

Freja, Sweden s second one, was also a scientific satellite (214 kg) designed to carry instruments for research into the aurora and other magnetospheric ionospheric phenomena.

It experiences a large number of cloudless nights, a dark sky, excellent atmospheric transparency and low humidity.

(a) Relaxation study of the interaction between the exhaust products of turbojet engines and the upper strata of the Earth's atmosphere by examining the images and spectra obtained in the ultraviolet range.

At the regional level, the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative (COMMIT) had been signed in Yangon in October 2004.

We're going to take these blue light photosensors and install them on a layer of cells in the middle of the retina in the back of the eye and convert them into a camera just like installing solar cells all over those neurons to make them light sensitive.

France has also taken part in the INTERBALL programme intended to study the behaviour of plasma in the auroral regions and in Earth s magnetospheric tail.

It turns out, almost every species in the upper parts of the ocean in warm parts of the world have these same photoreceptors, and use sunlight as the source of their energy and communication.

So rather than just being some sunbathing slacker, they're really very industrious fish that dance this wild dance between the surface and the bottom and through temperature.

The radar data will be particularly useful for monitoring the Mount Pinatubo area during the typhoon season through cloud cover, which adversely affects optical remote sensing sensors.

This technology works by introducing a mirror into the telescope optics system that's continuously changing to counteract what the atmosphere is doing to you.
