Did you know that some satellites keep an eye on space weather?

SciJinks in a SNAP!When you think of a weather satellite, you probably think of something in space keeping watch over clouds on the ground. But some satellites also keep an eye on a very different kind of weather—space weather! Learn all about it in SciJinks’ very first “SciJinks in a Snap” video—a new series of short animated videos with accompanying posters that are as entertaining as they are educational. Check it out at http://scijinks.gov/space-weather-snap.

The Story of Stuff 

Picture

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
