New Explanation for Sun Spots Affects Radio Signals
Science at the Carnegie Institution of Washington reports a new cause for radio disruption from sun spots. Electrically charged gases travel from the sun into Earth’s ionosphere at about one mile per second, altering conditions that fade or erase radio transmissions. Researchers H W Watts and D E George used new observation techniques during magnetic storms at the time.
