Zeta Pegasi

The first NASA spacecraft to image and map the dynamic interactions taking place where the hot solar wind slams into the cold expanse of space is ready for launch on Sunday, Oct. 19 at 1:48 p.m. EDT. The two-year mission will begin from the Kwajalein Atoll, a part of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The IBEX spacecraft will conduct extremely high-altitude orbits above Earth to investigate and capture images of processes taking place at the farthest reaches of the solar system. Known as the interstellar boundary, this region marks where the solar system meets interstellar space. NASA is to webcast the the IBEX launch, you can find out more here: http://www.nasa.gov Should be interesting.

From what I have read "global warming" is suppose to be the first sign of Polar Shift, along with volcanic activity, rising sea levels, and earthquakes.
