... Energy . ... Solar Wind . ... Field . ... 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. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...

... Most of the time large telescopes are collecting light for a spectrograph, which spreads the light out into a rainbow. ... Atoms in the cool outer layers of a star absorb light coming from the hotter regions within, producing dark absorption lines across the spectrum. ... And astronomers do not actually use color film to take a color picture of the spectrum, for several reasons: . ... Color film does a very poor job of representing the continuous range of colors in a spectrum. ... Tutorial: Part 1 |...
