In addition, there are many web pages set up to display our data and results to the public. The main SOHO web page is
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/. The SOHO gallery, containing some of the best images and data from each SOHO instrument,

ishttp://sohowww.nascom. nasa.gov/gallery/.RecentmoviesoftheSunareavailableforviewingat

With the cooperation of SOHO Goddard Space Flight Center is proposing an "Education Mall" on the Web. This site would be

a resourcedesignedto provide information for teachersbased on their curriculumneedsand nationaleducationalstandards.

SOHO would be closely involved in the Sun-Earth Connection part of this effort.Furthermore, NASA headquarters isconsid-

ering the establishment of a number of "forums'' to serve as clearing houses for information concerning different NASA related

topics. Goddard hasproposed thatthe Sun-Earth Connection clearing house be atGoddard,with the participation of SOHO.

Popular press and mass mediaSOHO-supported scientists have written articles appearing in popular-levelscience magazines

includingScientific AmericanandSky &Telescope,and have supplied information for many journalists writing aboutthe Sun

and heliosphere. The levelof interestin solar-terrestrialscienceand spaceweather in particular isevidenced by the enormous

response to the halo CME/magnetic halo eventof 1997 January 6 - 11 and the flare/halo CME/magnetic stormeventof 1997

April 7 - 11. Most of the media requests for information were handled by an extremely effective team of young scientists from

SOHO and GGS.

We have also interacted with the public at large by answering questions sent by e-mail and participating in live electronic chat

sessionson the Internetorganized by Rice University and Prodigy. SOHO scientistshave been guestson nationally broadcast

TV and radio programs.

InteractionwiththeeducationprofessionSOHOteammembershaveattended

scienceteacherconferencesincludingthe

NationalScienceTeachers Association Meeting and NASA's Education Workshop for Math and ScienceTeachers,where we

made presentations, distributed SOHO related materials, and interacted with teachers.

Tosummarize our plans for the future, we will:

• producea monthly Sun-Weather video and distribute it over NASA select TV,
• produceeducationalvideos showcasing SOHO data,
• participatein the Education Malland Sun-Earth Connectionsforumif they areapproved,
• continue to develop activities and other materialsto be placed on the Web and distributed directly to classrooms, and
• interact individually with teachers and students.

5. The SOHO Solar Maximum Science program

The Science Promise.All of the physically meaningful parameters measured by SOHO instruments -- eigenmode frequencies,

EUV irradiance,CME rates,active region heating,&c.-- vary with thesolar activity cycle.Continuing to use the existing

SOHO resourcesSolar MaximumScience programwillextend those measurementsinto a domain of solar activity in which

they have never been obtained with such precision or cotemporally with such an extensive array of other solar-terrestrialmis-

sions.TherearecurrentlynoSun-EarthConnectionmissionsunderdevelopmentthatwouldbeableto makeanyofthese

measurementsin the years1999 - 2002.Continuing to use the existing SOHO resourcestherefore representsa relatively low

risk method of obtaining data on the Sun and heliosphere thatwill not be available again before2010 - 2013.
