“Cindi in the Electric Atmosphere” Comic Book
In this comic Cindi takes the reader through the ionosphere, explaining the electromagnetic spectrum, the light from the Sun, and how the Sun’s radiation interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere to create the ionosphere. This is all done in the context of the CINDI instruments on the C/NOFS spacecraft. This comic book is aimed specifically at high school students in general physical science and physics courses, but we hope that readers of all ages will find it fun and informative. It is a 24-page booklet that can be downloaded as a pdf file in color and printed out on your own computer.
