Sun as radio source aids solar studies says Pawsey
Dr. Joseph L. Pawsey reports at a conference that sun radio waves reveal solar activity such as sunspots prominences and flares. Flares eject hydrogen gas at high speeds, creating magnetic disturbances and bursts of ultraviolet light and X rays that may influence Earth's water. Advanced solar radio astronomy offers new ways to study flare mechanisms and forecast their occurrences.
