Solar Simulator 2 Description

The Sun can wander up to ~2.2 solar radii away from the barycentre. Solar Simulator 2 will allow you to understand these gravitational effects by adding pointers from the Sun to the positions of the planets. The lines drawn illustrate the direction of gravity between a pair of objects: The Sun and a planet. It is apparent that the giant gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the most important in infuencing the Sun's orbit. Solar Simulator 2 can present information about solar activity in the form of Solar H-alpha Flares, as ground based observations 1938-1979, and by the GOES satellite 1980-2008. The purpose of this feature is to investigate possible correlations with other phenomena. Obviously, the solar flares are correlated with the location of the Earth, since the solar flare data are observed from the GOES satellite, orbiting the Earth.
