These massive cells carry hot gas up to the surface, sideways, and back down again. The fluid motion of this action concentrates the magnetic fields lines at the outer edge of the cells. This concentration heats the surrounding gasses and produces “The Chromospheric Network” of bright calcium emissions. Supergranules are around 20,000 miles across, 6000 miles thick and last up to 2 days. About 2500 supergranules cover the solar disk Greg Piepol -------------------- http://www.sungazer.net/blog Post Extras:       square_peg Postmaster Reged: 03/26/04 Posts: 23989 Loc: Maple Valley, WA Re: Solar Photo Commentary through Sept. 15th [Re: gpiepol]       #574183 - 08/25/05 09:29 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I was just coming to ask, "what's CaK"?

It's dedicated to all the CNers that have been affected by the hurricane.
