How do violent eruptions on the surface of the Sun and human-induced changes
to our atmosphere affect life on Earth? What is the Earth's last atmospheric
frontier that the TIMED spacecraft will explore during its 2-year mission? Take
an in-depth look at the TIMED mission — the first of NASA's Solar Terrestrial
Probes — and find out how it will help scientists learn more about this
relatively unexplored region of our atmosphere. Total running time is 26 minutes;
video is broken into 7 segments.
