Hi Ruth,

Doesn't sound good for the knights! I have missed the news over here, especially about the knights. I have been a little behind on blogs preparing for the exam on Monday next week. I will be staying in Strasbourg on the weekend to do some local sightsseeing as well as study.

cheers Kim E

Hi to the Druces,

The green light is the aurora, which is caused by electromagnetic particles from the Sun (the solar wind) interacting with the earths magnetic field. The field is thinner at the poles and this phenomena occurs at both the poles. There are some resources for children which can be found at ;

ESA http://www.esa.int/esaKIDSen/index.html you can find links about the sun
NASA http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forkids/kidsclub/flash/index.html
Australian site http://encyclopedia.kids.net.au/page/au/Aurora_borealis

Page 26 in this presentation below, gives a good graphical representation of the earths magnetic field http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/gallery/Presentations/SOHOset1.pdf you can see where the field is thinner (well the field lines return to the earth here) and the presentation is about the probe that tracks and photographs changes in the sun.

It's a shame the photos on the blog are only small web sized ones. The originals look amazing.
Cheers Kim E

Hi Kim
Finally caught up with your site, it looks fantastic. The camera is working well judging from the photos. Charlotte wants to know about the photo from space with the green light around Antarctica; what is the green light.
I can't believe you are half way through already. You can always catch up on sleep on the plane trip home!
Love from the Druces
