Atmospheric Effects

Captured these pics of the Moon and Sun recently (not in the UK, where objects like the Sun are rarely sighted these days!!!)

I think the Sun picture nicely shows how the inside of a rainbow is darker, as discussed recently by Professor Merrifield on Sixty Symbols.

Films about our stormy sun

Solar flares, CMEs and aurora are back in the news.

Well the Backstage Science project has plenty of great stuff about them - fill your boots!









Backstage Science is a series of films I did behind-the-scenes with the Science Technology and Facilities Council last year.

The chap in these videos is solar scientist Chris Davis.
