... On rare occasions (few times a year or so), ground based observations in the morning sector show highly monochromatic amplitude modulated oscillations in the Pc 4 range (see the sample ). ... As these particles circle the Earth and reach the morning hours only when the ExB drift is small, giant pulsations are observed only during geomagnetically quiet times (Chisham, 1996). ...

... These are ``quirks'' rather than ``bugs''. Below is a list of quirks. When loading a file and ``Reset Intensity Upon File Load'' is disabled, the intensity range of the previous image will be used. ... When moving between two images (such as when blinking, or when loading a new image), the display system attempts to retain the old image parameters (i.e. zoom box). What is retained are the corners of the zoom box measured in image pixel co-ordinates, not world co-ordinates. ...

... October 4, 1995 . The Sun Spews X-rays . Credit: Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope , ISAS , Japan . Explanation: Our Sun is really very hot. The Sun's outer atmosphere is so hot that it emits much light in the X-ray band, which was unexpected. X-rays are usually emitted from objects having a temperature in the millions of degrees, not the mere thousands of degrees of the Sun's surface. The above X-ray picture shows the Sun one particularly active day in August of 1992. ...
