You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... The aim is to investigate the existence of propagating waves in the solar chromosphere and the transition region via analyzing the statistical distribution of power in different locations, e.g. in bright magnetic (network), bright non-magnetic and dark non-magnetic (interтАУnetwork) regions, separately. ... We detect the presence of longтАУperiod oscillations with periods between 15 and 30 minutes in bright magnetic regions...

Large sunspots were occasionally seen far in the past without any instruments, when the sun was dimmed by thick haze, but not much was remembered of those observations. ... Sunspot Cycle (1850 - 1975) . One who was greatly influenced by Schwabe's discovery was an English gentleman of independent means, Richard Christopher Carrington , who devoted himself to the study of sunspots. ... Carrington had seen a flare, of the rare variety that is visible in white light (only about 50 are known). ...

... Files in red?history) . ... The Sun . ... Large sunspots may be occasionally seen by the unaided eye, with the sun near the horizon and dimmed by thick haze. ... Year after year, beginning in 1826, on every clear day, Schwabe would scan the sun and record its spots, until 17 years later he began to suspect a regular variation . ... Some, led by Rudolf Wolf, examined old records to reconstruct earlier sunspot cycles, while Edward Sabine in England in 1852 found a similar periodicity in magnetic...
