Description

Twenty earths, end-to-end, could fit along the lenght of this prominence. The images, taken on consecutive days, show some of the changes that occur from day-to-day in the suns's chromosphere. Two of my students took part in the observing/imaging/processing of these images. Hooray for what appears to be the end (last Dec.?) of solar minimum.

Description

The International Space Station had an angular diameter of 37 arcseconds as it transited our sun this morning as seen from Kettle Cove State Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It was our good fortune that a solar active region was also in the picture. It is great to think that we are beyond solar minimum.
