SDO Weekly Report for November 19, 2010

Based on discussions with the science teams, it was decided to use the new offset procedure for future Lunar Transit operations to minimize instrument off-pointing during the transitions from Science to Inertial mode and back.

Obtained agreement from the HPA vendor to replace all DC fans with AC fans to improve reliability. The repairs will be done on a rotating cycle to continue operations while units are being repaired.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6369594138980582994-9126206985756168034?l=sdoisgo.blogspot.com

More YouTube idiocy, What do you think?
The Sun spun around 360 degrees in a blink of an eye or The camera/observatory rotated?


Hmmm, tough one.

well what i think is that anything is possilbe , and dont wipe off anything ,just observe and process , because i dont beleave i know anything . i just experience life and attempt to make good observations and move on, assembling a way of being that encapsulates all for the highest good .some people have subjects and spend their lives studying it , so pass on to them info thats out there and there ya go . what do you think

February 15, 2001 -- You can't tell by looking, but scientists say the Sun has just undergone an important change. Our star's magnetic field has flipped.

The Sun's magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere just a few months ago, now points south. It's a topsy-turvy situation, but not an unexpected one.

"This always happens around the time of solar maximum," says David Hathaway, a solar physicist at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The magnetic poles exchange places at the peak of the sunspot cycle. In fact, it's a good indication that Solar Max is really here."
