Sun outage times are published in local newspapers. As the majority of rural Alaska is served by satellite, population centers like Utqiaġvik, Kotzebue, and Nome suffer from this as well. Nome is the terminus of the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and due to its timing, announcements of the finishers are often delayed during these Sun ...
A one-year exposure showing sun trails for the entire year of 2014, taken in Budapest, Hungary Solarigraphy (or solargraphy) is a technique in which a fixed pinhole camera is used to expose photographic paper for a length of time that is typically 6-months, but can be as short as a few hours and last well over a year.
Heliophysics, the scientific study of the Sun and region of space affected by the Sun; Magnetic cloud, a transient disturbance in the solar wind; Solar cycle, an 11-year cycle of sunspot activity; Solar prominence, a plasma and magnetic structure in the Sun's corona; Solar wind, the stream of particles and plasma emanating from the Sun
STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is a solar observation mission. [2] Two nearly identical spacecraft (STEREO-A, STEREO-B) were launched in 2006 into orbits around the Sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the sun. And they are pretty rare. Over the past century, only 13 total solar eclipses have been visible in the United States .
A sunshower, or sun shower, is a meteorological phenomenon in which rain falls while the Sun is seen shining. [1] A sunshower is usually a result of winds associated with a rain storm sometimes miles away, blowing the airborne raindrops into an area where there are no clouds.
The fast solar wind has a typical velocity of 750 km/s, a temperature of 8 × 10 5 K and nearly matches the photosphere's. [33] [34] The slow solar wind is twice as dense and more variable in intensity than the fast solar wind. The slow wind has a more complex structure, with turbulent regions and large-scale organization. [35] [36]
