Carl Størmer

Auroral Pioneer

By: Alv Egeland,William J. Burke

This biography summarizes the seminal contributions to auroral and space science of Carl Størmer (1874 - 1957). He was the first to develop precise photographic methods to calculate heights and morphologies of diverse auroral forms during four solar cycles. Størmer independently devised numerical techniques to determine the trajectories of high-energy charged particles allowed and forbidden in the Earth’s magnetic field. His theoretical analyses explained cosmic ray access to the upper atmosphere, 20 years before they were identified by other scientists. Størmer’s crowning achievement, “The Polar Aurora,” published when he was 81 years old, stands to this day as a regularly cited guide in graduate-level courses on space physics. The authors present the life of this prodigious scientist in relation to the cultural life of early 20th century in Norway and to the development of the space sciences in the post-Sputnik era.

Conflicting Mind

By: Sadaf Alv

When there were too many people to advise, too many incidents to affect, and to many emotions to feel, it was hard for Asher to make decisions of his life. Asher Khan was an inhabitant and victim of Eastern culture and how it impacted his life overall from his childhood to the very endHow he felt about women in his life, how those emotions affected his decisions, and how he tackled with those feelings. From the suburbs of clean respectable surroundings to the streets of the most notorious drug dealers. The journey of an innocent boy to a heartless, narcissist dealer and killer. Just a wrong turn could end up into inevitable crisis. When he had nothing to live for, no reason to forgive, and no desire to forget but just her, her voice ringing in his ears would stop him from going insane. Someone with no vulnerability would turn into someone with everything to lose. The only thing that could change him was her: Sarah, the long-lost love of his life. What would Asher do to save her for his own sake? Would he leave his path of bloodshed and come out clean? Would Sarah lead him to the path of righteousness? The woman who was actually the reason of all that meltdownwould he listen to her? What would he do?
