The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

Observation Strategies . For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... See Table 6.3 on page 113 for sky level as function of ecliptic coordinates.) If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...
