Resource Page For His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden Visit To Goddard
Read moreB-roll of His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden's visit to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. || NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is honored to welcome His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden on Wednesday, May 3. As part of a royal technology mission, His Majesty will be accompanied by His Excellency Björn Lyrvall – Swedish ambassador to the United States – as well as members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. Founded in 1919 by His Majesty’s great-grandfather King Gustaf V, the academy is the oldest of its kind in the world, promoting contact and exchange among businesses, research institutions and government organizations in Sweden and abroad. Since ascending to the throne in 1973, His Majesty has been an avid supporter of science and engineering, serving as the lead patron for several organizations – including the academy – across Sweden. At his request, the academy has organized the overseas royal technology mission every one to two years since 1984 to study the science and business climate of other nations. This year, the academy’s leadership has chosen to visit the United States, and we are proud they have selected Goddard as one of the destinations.Click for STILL IMAGES from his visit to Goddard.PresentationsLink to James Webb Space Telescope presentation by Dr. John Mather.Link to aurora in Sweden presentation by Dr. Holly Gilbert.Link to Earth science presentation by Dr. Compton Tucker.Links to Goddard Space Flight Center Biographies:Christopher Scolese - GSFC Center Director.George Morrow - GSFC Deputy Center Director.Dr. Christyl Johnson - Deputy Director for Technology and Research InvestmentsDr. John MatherDr. Compton TuckerAstronaut Kay HireLink to additional Biographies Supporting King of Sweden Visit on May 3, 2017.Building 28 – Hyperwall PresentersDr. John Mather – Astrophysics and JWSTDr. Compton Tucker Earth Science JWSTDr. Holly Gilbert – HeliophysicsDr. Alex Young - HeliophysicsBuilding 28 – Atrium PresentersDr. Melissa Trainer – SAM Science Team Member **Charles Malespin – SAM Deputy Principal Investigator and Operations & Test bed Lead Building 29 – High Bay PresentersCatherine Peddie – WFIRST Deputy Project Manager James Pontius – GEDI Project Manager Bryan Blair – GEDI Deputy Principal Investigator Building 29 – Robotic Oprations Center PresentersBenjamin Reed - Deputy Director, Satellite Servicing Project Division Brian Roberts - Robotic Operations Manager Building 3 – HST Operations PresentersJim Jeletic - Deputy Project Manager, Hubble Space TelescopeDr. John Grunsfeld - Godddard Emeritus Scientist and AstronautBuilding 13 – Network Integration Center PresentersBob Menrad - Associate Director for Exploration & Space CommunicationsDavid Carter - Associate Director for Exploration & Space Communications Dr. Lisa Mazzuca – Search & Rescue Manager ||

It covers a time period of January 2, 2015 to January 28, 2016 at a cadence of one frame every hour, or 24 frames per day. This timelapse is repeated with narration by solar scientist Nicholeen Viall and contains close-ups and annotations. 171 angstrom light highlights material around 600,000 Kelvin and shows features in the upper transition region and quiet corona of the sun. The video is available to download here at 59.94 frames per second, double the rate YouTube currently allows for UHD content. The music is titled "Tides" and is from Killer Tracks.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. ||
