Summary

A coronal mass ejection (CME), if directed at Earth after a period of Solar Flares, would shut down electric communications across the planet. The damage to electric and electronic systems from computers to satellites in the United States alone, is estimated to cost three-trillion dollars. As extensive pollution by humans continues, it causes damage to Earth's Ozone Layer, it's critical to protect Earth from harmful UV radiation. Civilization is more in danger than ever before. 
Life on Earth is profoundly linked to our Sun. It is the principal energy source that drives photosynthesis, generates weather and climate and our metabolism. Our food, our fuel, our very evolution on this planet depends on our Sun. For these reasons and more, the Sun literally means life. Today, solar observations from space have provided extraordinary images of the sun. Missions like SOHO, STERO and especially DDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory launched in 2010) have vastly deepened our knowledge of our sun. With such extraordinary instruments we've actually learned more about our Sun and its properties in recent decades than our species has in all the previous millions of years we've inhabited the Earth. 
The Maine Arts Commission awarded Roland Salazar Rose a grant for the production and publication of an e-pub titled Solar Flares & Salazar: An Art/Science Collaboration. The e-pub directs pubic attention to the existential threat now posed to our environment by pollution, and asks everyone to be responsible stewards on "Spaceship Earth." Solar Flare & Salazar provides a Link to the video produced at Emera Astronomy Center. The project team is: Shawn Laatsch, Director of the Emera Astronomy Center UMO, Maine; music, narration and technical support from Duane Shimmel, Director, Center for Innovation and Learning, UMO; script by curator John Ripton PhD, in collaboration with Salazar, a Maine artist. 
As a responsible steward on "spaceship earth" you can respond to the existential threat to Earth by joining others in taking immediate steps to reduce the carbon footprint we now leave at Earth's door. The e-pub, "Solar Flares & Salazar" with many links to established environmental sites is your environmental guide; it informs and illustrates how our relationship to our Sun, and our place in the universe, makes everyone responsible to address climate change.

    Squid Empire - The Rise and Fall...

    Before there were mammals on land, there were dinosaurs. And before there were fish in the sea, there were cephalopods—the ancestors of modern squid and Earth's first truly substantial animals. Cephalopods became the first creatures to rise from the seafloor, essentially inventing the act of swimming. With dozens of tentacles and formidable shells, they presided over an undersea empire for millions of years. But when fish evolved jaws, the ocean's former top predator became its most delicious snack. Cephalopods had to step up their game. 
    Many species streamlined their shells and added defensive spines, but these enhancements only provided a brief advantage. Some cephalopods then abandoned the shell entirely, which opened the gates to a flood of evolutionary innovations: masterful camouflage, fin-supplemented jet propulsion, perhaps even dolphin-like intelligence. 
    Squid Empire is an epic adventure spanning hundreds of millions of years, from the marine life of the primordial ocean to the calamari on tonight's menu. Anyone who enjoys the undersea world—along with all those obsessed with things prehistoric—will be interested in the sometimes enormous, often bizarre creatures that ruled the seas long before the first dinosaurs. 
    Contains mature themes.

    An “entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking” look at the world of pure science and how obscure research leads to major changes in our world (John M. Henshaw, University of Tulsa, author of A Tour of the Senses). 
     
    With a novelistic style, C. Renée James reveals how obscure studies of natural phenomena—including curved space-time, poisonous cone snails, exploding black holes, and the precise chemical makeup of the sun—led unexpectedly to WiFi, GPS, genetic sequencing, pain medications, and cancer treatments. Science Unshackled brings both science and scientists to life and shows how simple curiosity can result in life-changing breakthroughs. 
     
    Scientists engaged in what is known as basic research never know when exploring small questions will have big impacts. But, by following the scientific method, disciplined inquiry can lead to wondrous and practical discoveries that benefit all of us in the end. The next time someone asks you why “the government” wastes its money on weird research, recall the intriguing stories James has told and tell them the answer.
