Small Sun-watcher Proba-2 offers detailed view of massive solar eruptionParis, France (ESA) Jun 14, 2011 ESA's Proba-2 small Sun-watcher was among the flotilla of satellites on watch as the Sun erupted spectacularly this week. After years of relative quietness, the Sun is waking up. Tuesday 7 June saw a medium-class M2.5 solar flare, associated with a proton storm, a coronal mass ejection that glanced past Earth on Thursday 9 June and an accompanying burst of radio energy. ESA's Proba-2 satellite was launched in November 2009, during the most inactive period of the solar cycle, but now the Sun ... read more |
