Tech Sgt. David Glowacki, a solar analyst at Detachment 4, 2nd Weather Squadron, outlines solar flares projected from a state-of-the-art telescope inside the solar observatory at Holloman Air Force Base on Jan. 27. With only three DOD observatories worldwide, solar analysts notify mission-critical personnel of solar flares in order to prevent solar interference with satellites and other equipment. “As weather technicians, we cover everything from the sun to the ground,” said Master Sgt. Ronald Sherard, the Det. 4 chief. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Randahl J. Jenson.
