The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite was launched on 5 February 2002. Its objective is to study the energy release and particle acceleration in solar flares thro
The COSPAR Colloquium on Solar-Terrestrial Magnetic Activity and Space Environment (STMASE) was held in the National Astronomy Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) in Beijing, China in
This book presents a synthesis of what we learned about particle acceleration and kinematics from recent solar flare observations with the Yohkoh, SoHO, TRACE, CGRO spacecraft and radio instruments o
The reach of the British Empire allowed Victorian astronomers to travel around the globe to observe solar eclipses. Pang (researcher at Institute for the Future, a California think tank) argues that t
Astronomers and students interested in studying the Sun require a thorough understanding of the proper techniques and equipment. Safety precautions are paramount, as the intensity of the heat and ligh
How hot is the sun? What is it made of? How long would it take to get there? This fun and fact-filled book answers these questions and many more. Following the lead of two kids and a purple cat, chil
There are many stars in the galaxy. But only the sun wakes us in the morning, helps us to grow, plays hide-and-seek behind the clouds, and paints pretty pictures in the evening sky. Frank Asch's gent
The first presentation of the novel interdisciplinary optical remote sensing technique for various ionized diluted media, based on the collisional polarization of the spectoral emission. The book prov
The 16 contributions explain how solar eruptions affect human technology and society, and are intended for the non-specialist. A glossary lists terminology necessary to understand Sun-Earth connectio
This book contains everything the amateur astronomer needs to know about eclipses, including: what to look for, when and how to observe, what equipment is needed, and even how to mount an eclipse expe
Unique among amateur astronomy books, The Cambridge Eclipse Photography Guide describes everything a viewer needs to know to observe and photograph the solar and lunar eclipses in the 1990s. It gives
Adopting a highly interdisciplinary approach that utilizes the data and analytical tools from a broad range of fields, the 36 contributed chapters, in total, trace the past evolution of the Sun and pr
This close-up look at the center of our solar system is "simple, clear, and direct."--Horn Book. "Handsome and informative, a must for the science shelf....Impressive, large color photographs."--Book
At the XV. General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Sydney 1973, Commission 10 for Solar Activity requested the incoming Organising Committee to establish a small group to recommend
