Sun May Change Its Light and Heat, Scientists State
Madison reports that Dr. Joel Stebbins presented to the National Academy of Sciences at the University of Wisconsin on possible sun variability of a few percent and its long term planetary and weather implications. He cited Smithsonian findings that the sun may be a variable star and described minute fluctuations in starlight measured by the Washburn Observatory using an electric cell photometer. The article notes that the solar system moves through space at about eleven miles per second and describes the method to determine solar motion via stellar spectra, placing the sun's trajectory toward a region near Vega in Ursa Major.
