...
now can we apple this to say the solar face map of both stereo A,B and SDO.
where is the leading side.
that arrow comes through what part of the sun?
Quoting: psyoptics Well, you'd have to visualize that from an Earth-based POV and our speck of dust is also in motion at a 60 degree angle from the Galactic Plane. However, Altair is visible in the night sky as part of the "summer triangle" asterism; being roughly near opposition (opposite the Sun), would put the Earth somewhere ahead of the Sun's path through the Milky Way in summer and on the trailing path in winter. I'm not sure if this helps or why you're curious, but I'm 99% certain this has no bearing on solar flares or CMEs. We've seen these erupt from everywhere- front, back, sides, north, south and center. The solar heliosphere pretty much shields us in its cocoon of solar winds. The Heliopause is some 113 A.U. away from the sun according to the Voyager data. When the solar winds are at low ebb is when we start to see a rise in Galactic Cosmic Rays from outside the heliosphere, but here on the ground we're very well-insulated for the most part. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] I see you answered my "where is the earth question" thanks, so we're part of the year in the g cloud, part of the year in the local cloud and part of the year almost out of the clouds completely? Just wondering if those positions affect the magnetosphere differently? No, the Sun hasn't entered the G cloud yet, but will in less than 5000 years time (maybe next week). The Sun seems to be in a void between the Local Interstellar Cloud (fluff) and is approaching the G Cloud. The earth is invisible in those charts, it would be smaller than a pixel--but it's close to the Sun (but you already know that). Here's what I found about potential effects the G Cloud may have on Earth- "During the Sun's journey through the Galaxy it encounters a range of environments, and interstellar densities ranging from 10-5 to 105 atoms/cm3 are observed in our galactic neighborhood. Hydrodynamic simulations show that if the solar system were to enter a typical diffuse cloud with a density of 10 atoms/cm3, the size of the heliosphere would shrink by nearly a factor of ten, with significant effects on the interplanetary environment at 1 AU." [ link to interstellar.jpl.nasa.gov] Very little and very sketchy info is available on this subject. There's much more speculation and guess-timates than actual hard data. That's why the Voyager and IBEX data are so important to our understanding. More on the local interstellar neighborhood: [ link to interstellar.jpl.nasa.gov] Glad I looked into all this before you started looking..... The conclusion I reached is, there is nothing we can do about it apart from spray the skies and use scalar tech to minimize the effects. Its because of the super giants main sequence. Hence why there are so many supergiants along the galactic center! This IS a terrible description of whats going on but im sure you can work it out!
