- Meteor Terminology poster (amsmeteors.org)
In a constant effort to create excitement about Science and to increase the level of the general population’s knowledge about Meteor Astronomy, the AMS has decided to create a set of educational posters. All AMS posters are available to print for free.
- Local Interstellar Cloud (Wikipedia)
The Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC), also known as the Local Fluff, is an interstellar cloud roughly 30 light-years (9.2 pc) across, through which the Solar System is moving. This feature overlaps a region around the Sun referred to as the solar neighborhood. It is unknown whether the Sun is embedded in the Local Interstellar Cloud, or is in the region where the Local Interstellar Cloud is interacting with the neighboring G-Cloud. Like the G-Cloud and others, the LIC is part of the Very Local Interstellar Medium which begins where the heliosphere and interplanetary medium end, the furthest that probes have traveled.
