Education Around Earth – Under the Sea at the Top of the World
Come with us as we go “Under the Sea at the Top of the World” and visit the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium (BASC) in Barrow, Alaska. BASC brings together a unique blend of scientists, native people, and centuries of Earth observing experience in a coordinated effort of research and education from above the ice to the sea floor below!

Large X-class Flare Erupts on the Sun
On Jan. 27, 2012, a large X-class flare erupted from an active region near the solar west limb. X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events. Seen here is an image of the flare captured by the X-ray telescope on Hinode. This image shows an emission from plasma heated to greater than eight million degrees during the energy release process of the flare. Image Credit: JAXA/Hinode
