Wednesday, August 11, 2:30-3:30 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time:
Jack Ireland, solar physicist
|
| Jack is busy preparing for the upcoming Solar Eclipse. He is coordinating
observations using the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer onboard the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory, with ground-based observations taken the the time of the eclipse.
Jack is interested in why the surface of the Sun is only a few thousand degrees
Kelvin, while the outlying corona (the part you see during the total solar eclipse)
is often millions of degrees Kelvin. Read Jack's profile prior to joining this chat.
