      As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather

*June 4, 2010:* Earth and space are about to come into contact in a way 
that's new to human history. To make preparations, authorities in 
Washington DC are holding a meeting: The Space Weather Enterprise Forum 
at the National Press Club on June 8th.

Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, explains what it's 
all about:

"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we 
expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, 
our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to 
solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting 
together to discuss."
