De zon is veranderlijk Een revolutionaire ontdekking! 1613: Galileo’s systematische observaties waren revolutionair, maar controversieel! The ancient Greeks, and other Europeans after them, …[believed] that the Sun and the heavens were ideal, an embodiment of unblemished perfection. The Aztec myth of creation involves a sun god with a pock-marked face, which strongly suggests that they had seen dark blemishes on the sun. 1647: Hevelius Magnetische cyclus Zonnevlek-cyclus Seizoenen op de zon Zonnevlekken voetpunten van de magnetische lussen Het magnetische tapijt TRACE SOHO Zonnevlam TRACE Multi-observatie 2005/11/01 01:19 2005/11/02 01:19 2005/11/02 07:19 Complementaire observaties (!) 2005/10/30 10:30 2005/11/02 06:59 Coronala Massa Uitstoten (CMEs) Halloween storm CME (1) CME (2) CME afbuiging Cremades, 2004 Afbuiging naar evenaar tijdens minimum Klassieke foto van een CME Probleem: van 3D naar 2D >> Wat zien we eigenlijk?

That strong field is part of the reason for the storm. Also the dynamics of the cloud is controlled by its strong magnetic field and not by its internal gas pressure.” Marubashi CME modellen Een plasmawolk richting aarde Communicatie Poolvluchten kunnen enkel HF gebruiken boven 82º Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Radiation Alert ALERT: Solar Radiation Alert at Flight Altitudes Conditions Began: 2003 Oct 28 2113 UTC Comment: Satellite measurements indicate unusually high levels of ionizing radiation, coming from the sun. This may lead to excessive radiation doses to air travelers at Corrected Geomagnetic (CGM) Latitudes above 35 degrees north, or south. Avoiding excessive radiation exposure during pregnancy is particularly important. Reducing flight altitude may significantly reduce flight doses. Available data indicates that lowering flight altitude from 40,000 feet to 36,000 feet should result in about a 30 percent reduction in dose rate. A lowering of latitude may also reduce flight doses but the degree is uncertain. Any change in flight plan should be preceded by appropriate clearance.
