Science Goals
The IHY team has also identified the following science goals for 2007-2008:
- Develop the basic science of heliophysics through cross-disciplinary studies of universal processes.
- Determine the response of terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres to external drivers.
- Promote research on the Sun-heliosphere system outward to the local interstellar medium - the new frontier.
- Foster international scientific cooperation in the study of heliophysical phenomena now and in the future
- Communicate unique IHY results to the scientific community and the general public

Famous quotes containing the words science and/or goals:
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Whoever sincerely believes that elevated and distant goals are as little use to man as a cow, that “all of our problems” come from such goals, is left to eat, drink, sleep, or, when he gets sick of that, to run up to a chest and smash his forehead on its corner.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
