History of the Universe by listening to the radio

I worked for a shortwave wireless station for a while and remember that an outburst from the sun could really mess up reception. So it was a delight to see two great talks at LIFT 11 in Geneva which went into great depths about listening to the universe - and explaining why coronal mass ejections are are having a great effect on our global communications, especially as we head towards a sunspot maximum.

Watch live streaming video from liftconference at livestream.com

and take time out to watch Dr Lucie Green put the sun, sunspots and coronal Mass ejections into a very clear perspective.
