Boston - May 27, 2003 - Anyone who drives is familiar with the frustration of being caught in "stop and go" traffic, a phenomenon found in urban areas all over the world. Astronomers have found that stop-and-go traffic is even more widespread than that, affecting galaxies throughout the universe.

- Understanding The Sun's Winds Of Change Takes Many Spacecraft
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/solarscience-03j.html
Paris - May 26, 2003 - We have known for 40 years that space weather affects the Earth, which is buffeted by a 'wind' from the Sun, but only now are we learning more about its precise origins. Solving the mystery of the solar wind has been a prime task for ESA's SOHO spacecraft. Its latest findings, announced on 20 May 2003, may overturn previous ideas about the origin of the 'fast' solar wind, which occurs in most of the space around the Sun.
