Just started differential geometry, I'm starting to understand the appeal
In light (haha) of the recent eclipse, I’d like to point out that it was during an eclipse in 1868 that French Astronomer Jules Janssen observed an unusual spectral line produced when he pointed his telescope at the partially obscured sun. He assumed that it corresponded to the spectrum of Sodium.
Observation by English astronomer Norman Lockyer later that year revealed it to be a different element. The first one discovered on a distant celestial sphere before it was discovered on Earth. He chose to name it after the sun.
In 1968, one hundred years later, a space probe was launched to orbit around and study the sun.
I have finally finished writing this long essay on solar winds. Good lord I forgot how much I hated writing these things. I got an extension and everything but I've still had to pull several all nighters just to get it finished on time.
I actually do love solar modelling, and especially the combination of fluid dynamics and magnetism. Solar wind especially is awesome, but at the moment I'm just exhausted from it. I'm just praying to the immortal soul of Eugene Parker that I'll be able to get the 70% I want on the paper.
If anyone wants to hear more about it I'll happily share, but you'll have to give me some time to find the enthusiasm again
