Welcome

   Many of us have been fascinated by the Earth and its beauties, its wonders and its ability to let us thrive. But, most of all, we are marveled by the connection between us and the everlasting limits of the universe. The Earth's atmosphere is the barrier that separates us from the universe. An interesting layer of this barrier is the Ionosphere. Founded 98 years ago, almost a century ago, this magnificent layer is home to all the charged particles in Earth's atmosphere. Here, the direct rays of the Sun heat up the gases in the ionosphere, making them lose a few electrons, which results in a sea of electrically charged particles.

​

How exactly was this amazing wonder ever discovered? By studying the interference of radio waves that had taken different paths, Edward Appleton established the existence of this layer in 1924. In 1927 he demonstrated that an additional layer existed outside the one discovered previously.

​

The unexpected changes in the ionosphere were first sent by the satellite GOLD. It showed that the ionosphere glowed due to the charged particles in it and the changes in day to night and vice versa. It shows us the power of the radiance of almost every particle. But we need to store this data. That is what I am going to do. I have created a way to store this data in this application. I have made the idea to store these images as links and in the links to store it as pixels. I have enclosed a sample （not entirely finished） in this website as an example of how to store it. This challenge （calling all radio enthusiasts） has let me do this and I thank NASA for giving me a chance.
