It comes with a matching hypoallergenic 18-inch chain. The loving pair flew 107,400 feet high, above 99.5% of Earth's atmosphere: 26, 2022, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched a sterling silver penguin pendant onboard a cosmic ray research balloon. "I LOVE YOU FOREVER" PENGUIN PENDANT: Does someone in your life love penguins? This may be the perfect gift.

A flick of this tail could send a CME toward Earth. Only one end of the filament is moored, so it could become unstable and begin to move around. Contained inside the filament is a long tube of relatively cool, dark pasma. The sunspot's tail is a filament of magnetism emerging from the sunspot's core and curling away into the sun's atmosphere. "To understand this size more visually, the dark core of sunspot AR3092, seen in the upper left, is about the size of planet Earth," notes Poupeau. "It extends for about 390,000 km above the surface of the sun," says Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau who photographed the structure from Rafaela, Argentina: The complete sunset may be seen on Zinkova's youtube channel.Ī SUNSPOT WITH A TAIL: Sunspot AR3092 has a tail-a really long one. "In the upper duct, the solar disk looked like a rectangle in the lower duct it was more like a stack of pancakes." "The mirages were different in these two ducts," says Zinkova.
In Zinkova's picture we see evidence of two thermal ducts trapping the sun's rays in relatively narrow layers.
When the sun passes behind the mix of hot and cold, the solar disk is naturally distorted. Record-hot air (90 F) sitting on top of cool ocean water (60 F) creates unusually intense temperature gradients. San Francisco sunsets are often strange ("No two are ever the same," says Zinkova), but the heatwave may be amplifying the effect. 5th, one of the hottest September days ever on the beach in San Francisco. "The sun split in two," says Mila Zinkova, who photographed the phenomenon just as a flock of cormorants flew by. In some cities around the San Francisco Bay, daily records have been shattered by more than 10 degrees. WHAT HEAT WAVES DO TO THE SUNSET: A record-breaking heat wave is smothering California this week. NOAA forecasters say there is a 5% chance of M-class flares and no more than a 1% chance of X-flares on Sept. The solar disk is peppered with sunspots, but all of them have stable magnetic fields unlikely to explode. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.

Sunspot AR3096 is growing rapidly, but it does not yet pose a threat for strong flares.
