Taken by SOHO's Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope. This image shows the solar atmosphere take at 1 million degrees. As the Sun's stormy season approaches its zenith, solar scientists have the best seat in the house, using the largest coordinated fleet of spacecraft and ground observatories ever assembled to observe these angry outbursts of solar radiation and predict the impact of turbulent space weather. According to scientists from NASA and NOAA, the Sun is near the peak of its 11-year cycle of activity. The images and data are beyond the wildest expectations of the astronomers of a generation ago.

He stood with, worked with, strategized with and marched with Dr. King and the SCLC during the most turbulent era of the American civil rights movement.

A native of Washington D.C., educated at Virginia Union University and Yale University, Walter E. Fauntroy has spent more than forty years helping to shape public policy.
