DEEP QUIET: Everyone knows that high solar activity has a profound effect on
the space around Earth.  Less well known is that *low* solar activity can be
equally transformative. This week, the sun is plunging into a quiet state with
almost no sunspots and a vanishing chance of flares. Find out what this means
on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com
 
OTHER STORIES we are following on http://spaceweather.com today: (1) A 10,000
km-long plume of sulfurous gas from Chile's Calbuco volcano is now crossing
the Atlantic Ocean en route to Africa; and (2) On April 28th, microbes sent to
the edge of space to test their response to cosmic radiation crash-landed in
the California desert--and it did not go well for the microbes.
