   Near solar maxima, the Sun produces about three CMEs every day, whereas solar minima feature about one every five days. [16] CMEs, along with solar flares of other origin, can disrupt radio transmissions and damage satellites and electrical transmission line facilities, resulting in potentially massive and long-lasting power outages. [17] [18]

   However, to resolve the fundamental scale in the Sun's atmosphere (photon mean free path of 100 km (62 mi) at the Solar surface), an aperture of at least 1.5 m (59 in) is required. Correction of distortion by the terrestrial atmospheric via adaptive optics (AO) is the enabling technology for the first facility-class solar telescope built in the ...
