The
Sun - Driver of the
Weather
The sun according to STEREO - a pair of spacecraft "ahead"
and"behind" the Earth's orbit,
to allow more of the sun to be seen. In the EUV at
195 Å
(similar to the SOHO image)
The Area around the sun - Watch for CME and
Comets!
Sometimes Planets can be seen passing through the view. The random
streaks are Cosmic Ray Strikes
Use the Sky Map at Fourmilab.ch to find
out what planets are wandering through
Solar Flux -a measure of the energy coming to us from the
sun,shows
how active the sun is
A is a moving average of the K,
K
is a measure of the Geomagnetic activity (a good aurora
predictor!)
