The Dynamic Solar Atmosphere

HYBRID: The Rice Space Institute presents a Houston Spaceport Frontiers Lecture featuring Dr. Stephen Baldwin, Professor, Physics and Astronom, speaking on "The Dynamic Solar Atmosphere."

Description: "Solar eclipses revealed the sun's corona, visible only when the bright disc is hidden. Discoveries included helium, detected before it was found on Earth, and the puzzle over why the corona is much hotter than the surface. This talk will will trace the history of corona physics, its mysteries, and how space observatories have advanced understanding."

The event will be held in Keck Hall, Room 100. There will be a reception starting at 6:30 while the lecture itself will begin at 7:00.
