en http://www.sunearthplan.net/ The Sun Earth Plan aims to learn more about the region of space dominated by our sun. Scientists at the Mathematical Institute, University of St Andrews, are investigating the suspected links between magnetic fields and the creation of solar prominences, flares and plasma ejections. Recent observations have revealed many properties of these events, but the knowledge of the physics behind their formation and evolution is still limited. What are the underlying processes that tie everything together?For the first time, the University ... http://www.sunearthplan.net/1/107/When-a-model-sun-starts-to-look-like-the-real-one Turning these ideas into scientific reality is extremely difficult. The shaking of the Sun's surface is very small. It moves to and fro at a couple of meters per second (a slow walking pace), and takes about five minutes to go through a vibrational cycle. Detecting this movement takes specially designed instruments: spectrometers that analyse the spectrum of sunlight with fantastic precision, sensing for the tiny shifts in light frequency (Dopple ... http://www.sunearthplan.net/1/12/When-the-Sun-shakes
