<div>From NASA's web site:</div> <div> </div> <div><FONT face=Verdana>Today, NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new "4D" live model of Earth's ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the layer of ionized gas that encircles Earth at the edge of space itself. All that's required is a connection to the Internet.</FONT></div> <div><FONT face=Verdana size=2>"This is an exciting development," says solar physicist Lika Guhathakurta of NASA headquarters in Washington, DC. "The ionosphere is important to pilots, ham radio operators, earth scientists and even soldiers. Using this new 4D tool, they can monitor and study the ionosphere as if they're actually inside it."</FONT></div> <div> </div> <div><A href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/30apr_4dionosphere.htm?list948869">http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/30apr_4dionosphere.htm?list948869</A></div> <div> </div> <div>Max</div><p>
