George Gloeckler, Emeritus Professor, was quoted in the Innovations Report of Germany, on February 20th, in an article about new satellite data over temperatures at the north and south poles of the sun. Recent observations show that the average temperature of the southern polar coronal hole at the current solar minimum is as low as it was 10 years ago in the northern polar coronal hole. This implies that the asymmetry between north and south has switched with the change of the magnetic polarity of the sun.

Robert Park, Professor, was quoted in the February 11th issue of the Ocean County Observer.
