outlines
the
major
mission
highlights
of
the
Interstellar
Boundary
Explorer
(IBEX)
mission,
a
Small
Explorer
Earth-orbiting
spacecraft
that
is
designed
to
map
the
distant
boundary
between
the
solar
wind
from
our
Sun
and
the
interstellar
medium.
The
poster
aims
to
answer
the
following
questions:
?
What
is
IBEX
and
what
is
it
exploring?
?
How
does
IBEX
explore
the
boundary
of
our
Solar
System?

For ecologists, the horseshoe crab is an important creature- a vastly adaptable organism that predates most species on the planet, with a lifecyle that is interlocked with other animals. Users can view information, photographs, and diagrams that explain the anatomy, range and habitat, lifecycle, ecological niche, reproductive cycle, and medical uses of the horseshoe crab.
