The last issue of Online Quiz Games - Space Weather

28 December 2015

Space weather generally encompasses the conditions and processes occurring in space, including on the Sun, in the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere, which have the potential to affect the near-Earth environment. The intensity of solar activities varies from time to time. When the activities become violent, the charged particles can affect the ionosphere and geomagnetism of the Earth, causing disruptions of power grids on Earth, radio black-out, disturbances of satellite positioning systems, or even damaging satellites or spacecraft in severe cases.

The last issue of the online quiz games will end on 10 January 2016. Please do not miss it! If you use the same registered email address and answer correctly all questions of the entire 21 issues of the quiz games, you will be entitled to a "Special Grand Prize". The winners will be notified of the details of this Prize via email in late January.
