Sun Spots Interfere With Communications on Earth By FA1 BENTLEY "I'm having a pretty rough time," recently remarked a man often called upon to repair TV sets, radios, and other lorms ol electrical equipment. "People in our town (state of Washington) complain that tele vision and rtdio programs suffer constant interference and are sometimes completely blacked out for no apparent reason. They call me to remedy the trouble, but usually, nothing is wrong with either the radio or TV. When I suggested that activity on the sun might be responsible for poor reception most of my patrons seemed to think I was a bit "queer." Disturbances from Sun Disturbances on the face of the sun known as sun spots and solar prominences interfere with earthly communications of all kinds; especially those involving long , distance. "What are sun spots and solar prominences? Isn't the sun 93 million miles away from us? How could anything so far dis tant cause a TV program to black out?" someone may be wondering. Sun spots are great swirling cyclones of electrified particles coming from the interior of the sun, which appear as dark patches on the sun's surface. They resemble tornadoes or hur ricanes, but are much more vio lent than any earth-born storm. The whirling masses of gases may be any size from just visible up to 100 thousand miles or more in diameter, and may last for a few days or for months. Solar prominences are great, long streamers of gases shooting out thousands of miles into space from the surface of the sun. They are found near sunspots and around the edge of the sun and are very likely present ali over the solar surface. , Electrified Particles During sun spot and solar prominence activity, huge masses of electrified particles are shot into space, and quickly reach the earth, producing a magnetic disturbance, called a magnetic storm, in the upper portion of the atmosphere. At such times, radio and tele vision are often blacked out and telegraphic communications hampered. Police radios may be disrupted for hours. And don't be surprised if voices and pic tures from foreign countries come in on your TV set! Sun spots, and the type of solar prominences found near sun spots, follow an 11 year cycle from minimum to maxi mum. When sun spots are ab Dr. Hermann Honored at Grants Pass Meeting Grants Pass Dr. H. W. Her mann, pioneer optometrist of Grants Pass, was guest of honor at a special dinner meeting of the Southern Oregon Optome tric society last week at the Grants Pass Country Club. Members of the optometric profession in southern Oregon and Grants Pass civic leaders paid tribute- to Dr. Hermann. He recently retired after 45 years of practice in Oregon.
