 Frequently Asked Questions 

How can I get a magnetometer in my school?

We have already selected the schools who will house magnetometers at their schools and we do not have any more magnetometers. However, you can use the data and classroom lessons that will be linked to this website. We expect the first data to be available together with classroom lessons by the summer 2005.

How can I get answers to questions about aurora, Earth's magnetism, and space weather?

We have created a web page to address frequently asked questions about the science of THEMIS. You can find this page here.
