Educational outreach is an important and rewarding part of an observer’s job at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO) that occupies part of the NOAA Mauna Loa research site located on the flanks of Mauna Loa Mountain at an elevation of 3440 meters in the U.S. state of Hawai’i.
Life imitates art, sometimes remarkably well... A recent paper has announced the discovery of an exoplanet around the nearby star 40 Eridani, which had previously been identified as the host star of Vulcan, the fictional home world of Star Trek’s cultural icon, Mr. Spock.
Dr. Tanausú del Pino Alemán (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Tenerife, Spain) has been awarded the 2018 ESPD Early Career Researcher Prize for his ground breaking contributions in the field of theoretical solar spectropolarimetry.
Determining the state of the corona prior to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is crucial to understanding and ultimately predicting solar eruptions.
The Sun Today is a single-page website dedicated to displaying the most recent movies from MLSO and other solar instruments. It is designed to display best on an HD display, but will scale properly for mobile devices. Set it as your home page and learn more about...The Sun Today!
The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite was launched in 1980 aboard a NASA Delta rocket. Among SMM's primary science objectives was the study of the dynamics of solar flares and the study of solar magnetic fields associated with the flare phenomenon.
