Thanks to everyone who has helped us with the testing of the Solar Stormwatch site over the last few weeks. With your help we are now almost ready to release the final version, where you will be able to look at all the STEREO data. We have been analysing your estimates of solar storm speeds and positions and for those storms that we have already studied in detail, we know that the interface is working and I’m very excited about this as it means that we can now extend our analysis to many more storms.
I am excited enough about the storms and certainly wasn’t anticipating a totally unexpected discovery – the occurrence of many more dust tracks in the data than we had previously identified. This is fabulous stuff. Once we have scrutinised the whole data set, this will tell us about the distribution of dust around the Sun in more detail than we would previously have been able to achieve from our images. See the detailed discussion on the solarstormwatch forum for more information.
I continue to be amazed by the scientific possibilities that are unleashed by the dedication of zooites and can’t wait to see what else we can discover together.

Looking forward to Solar Storm Watch going live. And bring on the dust ! 😉
Yay! Does that mean you asked us to do some analysing and you got a dusty answer?
Well beta has been most enjoyable. Looking forward to the real thing and more new discoveries!
I am very interested in all aspects of astronomy, and love a job in this
field, but by assisting on Galaxyzoo, I am close to this.I would be more than willing to help you here.
I am anxious to help Solar Stormwatch as I am already a zoo fan. However, when I click on ‘Spot Training’, there seems to be nothing for me to train on. Perhaps you are still setting up, in which case, it would be helpful for us to know. If I am missing something, please tell me on what I should click.
Great idea though, and cannot wait to help.

Just joined the spotters club and find intriguing At 78 I have lots of spare time so hope to find something out there .
