SUNSPOTS & SOLAR FLARES Sunspots are areas where the Sun's light output is restricted to a certain extent by magnetic fields at that point in the photosphere. Sunspots emit a considerable amount of light, but in comparison with the rest of the Sun's surface they appear dark. ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...

... On the other hand, it is well-known that the edge of a two-dimensional electron system exhibits well-pronounced qualities of a one-dimensional transport both in quantizing and zero magnetic fields.В Therefore, a more general experimental task of investigating the transport through the interface between a two-dimensional electron system with a strong spin-orbital coupling, and a metal with a macroscopic order parameter can be set. ... Finite size effect in the shot noise in hopping conductivity . ...

... We computed the permanently shadowed areas and temperatures inside the craters for the variation of the position of the lunar pole of rotation with respect to the ecliptic pole with a period of 18.6 years. ... According to our results, the total permanently shadowed area in the polar craters of the Moon is equal to 50428.7 km2, or 0.13% of the total area of the lunar surface [3]. ... The area of permanently shaded part of a crater makes 59 % from all area of a crater [3]. ...

. ArtistтАЩs impression of an active volcano on Venus. Results from a long-term study of Venus find evidence of a clear injection of sulfur dioxide into its upper atmosphere. One possible interpretation is that volcanic activity increased the sulfur dioxide component of the upper atmosphere, although an alternative is that a change in atmospheric circulation dredged up the gas. // Credits: ESA/AOES

... In the Sun-Earth system these are the impulses of the solar activity and the processes in the Earth atmosphere. ... However only recently we succeeded to prove that the weather anomalies and even that of climate are noticeably connected with the variety and diversity of the solar activity. ... All these particularities are specific for the convection zone and extremely important for the whole “life” of the Sun because they are the main causes of the Solar Activity . ...
