* October 19, 1989, a large solar event included the full array of space weather effects: Solar Energetic Particles, Coronal Mass Ejection, Forbush decrease, ground level enhancement, geomagnetic storm, etc ..

The first detection of a Coronal mass ejection ( CME ) as such was made on December 1, 1971 by R. Tousey of the US Naval Research Laboratory using OSO 7.

The geomagnetic storm causing this event was itself the result of a Coronal Mass Ejection, ejected from the Sun on March 9, 1989.

* January 7, 1997, a Coronal Mass Ejection hit the Earth's magnetosphere on January 10 and caused the loss of the AT & T Telstar 401 communication satellite ( a $ 200 million value ).

Coronal mass ejections reach velocities between to with an average speed of, based on SOHO / LASCO measurements between 1996 and 2003.

* Coronal loop, a structure on the surface of the Sun

The planet is ruled by an unusual tetrarchy: an adoptive Coronal rules in a highly visible and symbolic manner from his palace atop Castle Mount ; the previous Coronal retires to become the Pontifex, the head of the bureaucracy in an underground Labyrinth ; the Coronal's mother becomes the Lady of the Isle of Sleep, promoting the morals of Majipoor by sending dreams to its inhabitants ; while a hereditary King of Dreams on the distant continent of Suvrael punishes wrongdoers by visiting them with nightmares.

Home of the Pontifex, who is always the last Coronal to serve on Castle Mount.

report the detection of damped transverse oscillations of solar coronal loops observed with the EUV imager on board the Transition Region And Coronal Explorer ( TRACE ), interpreted as standing kink ( or " Alfvénic ") oscillations of the loops.

His main interest has been solar physics research, and he was instigator of the first multi-observatory observation of coronal mass ejections, joint leader at the 81. 5 MHz radio array at Cambridge, principal scientists for the first mm observations of the Sun and principal investigator of the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on SOHO.

* SECCHI ( Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation ), an instrument package on each of the STEREO spacecraft

* The Advanced Coronal Observing System ( ACOS ) is a set of instruments for monitoring the chromosphere on a shared mount.

Coronal loops are the basic structures of the magnetic solar corona.

Coronal loops are highly radiating sources of plasma and therefore easy to observe by instruments such as TRACE ; they are highly observable laboratories to study phenomena such as solar oscillations, wave activity and nanoflares.

Coronal streamers are considered as sources of the slow solar wind.

Coronal mass ejections have been tracked as far out in the solar system as Saturn.

Coronal mass ejections are often associated with other forms of solar activity, most notably solar flares, but a causal relationship has not been established.

Coronal mass ejections release huge quantities of matter and electromagnetic radiation into space above the sun's surface, either near the corona ( sometimes called a solar prominence ) or farther into the planet system or beyond ( interplanetary CME ).

Coronal mass ejections, along with solar flares of other origin, can disrupt radio transmissions and cause damage to satellites and electrical transmission line facilities, resulting in potentially massive and long-lasting power outages.

Coronal mass ejections are often associated with other forms of solar activity, most notably:

* Coronal mass ejection, a massive burst of solar wind and other ejecta from a star

* Coronal mass ejection ( CME ), a massive burst of solar wind, sometimes associated with solar flares

* 2007: Tomczyk, et al., report the detection of Alfvénic waves in images of the solar corona with the Coronal Multi-Channel Polarimeter ( CoMP ) instrument at the National Solar Observatory, New Mexico.

According to traditional folklore, long-term use of chicory as a coffee substitute may damage human retinal tissue, with dimming of vision over time and other long term effects.

* Brightness and contrast ratio: Contrast ratio is the ratio of the brightness of a full-on pixel to a full-off pixel and, as such, would be directly tied to brightness if not for the invention of the blinking backlight ( or burst dimming ).

The gods, being somewhat class conscious, were angry that rich and proud Tecciztecatl had to follow humble Nanauatl, threw a rabbit at Tecciztecatl leaving an imprint of the rabbit ’ s shape and dimming Tecciztecatl ’ s brightness to where he could only be seen at night.

It comes from the noticeable to significant dimming of regular incandescent lights, during system faults or overloading etc., when insufficient power is available to achieve full brightness in ( usually ) domestic lighting.

This dimming follows the inverse square law, which states that the brightness of an object decreases as 1 / d < sup > 2 </ sup >, where d is the distance between the observer and the object.

This results in destructive interference and a decrease in the amplitude of the wave, which for light is associated with a dimming of the waveform at that location.

This status may be as simple as " off " or " on ", or the current dimming level, or even the temperature or other sensor reading.

The life span on dimming depends on lamp construction, the halogen additive used and whether dimming is normally expected for this type.

He insisted on dimming the house-lights during performances.

" Drummer Dave Lombardo has since observed: " There was fire on all the records, but it started dimming when South of Heaven came into the picture.

* Offers convenient features — available with dimming on some indoor models and automatic daylight shut-off and motion sensors on some outdoor models.

Global dimming also creates a cooling effect that may have partially masked the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming.

The rate of dimming varies around the world but is on average estimated at around 2 – 3 % per decade.

The trait is so characteristic that light-up eyes are often found on Terminator merchandise, with some even replicating the dimming / reillumination effect that occurs during shut down or start up.

As the drama unfolds, it becomes clear that Manningham is intent on convincing Bella that she is going insane, even to the point of assuring her she is " imagining " the gas light in the house is dimming.

Also standard on all Mark VIIs was an automatic dimming high-beam module.

Standard features for the second-generation Q45 included a leather interior with fake woodgrain trim, but no dual climate control, a Bose audio system with eight speakers with an in-dash single disc CD player, auto dimming rear view mirror, automatic light on and delay off timer, and steering wheel-mounted cruise control and head unit control.

Several automakers began offering rear-view mirrors with automatic dimming again in 1983, and it was in the late 1980s that they began to catch on in popularity.

Other standard features include Scratch Shield paint ( first introduced on the Infiniti EX ), black lacquer interior trim, high-intensity discharge ( HID ) headlamps, LED brake lamps, 12-point sequential welcome lighting, electronic liftgate closure assist, automatic dimming rear-view mirror with compass, glass moonroof, rear privacy glass, integrated rear spoiler, and dual chrome exhaust tips.

A related feature offered on many General Motors models during the 1950s and 1960s was the Autronic Eye headlight dimming system ( which did just that ).

The Ford automatic headlamp system could be had with automatic dimming on Lincoln models until the late 1980's.

* Does that sound particularly slow to you ?.... Everything sounds like it's running in slow motion .... The lights are dimming in the city ; you wouldn't believe what's going on in this studio, folks !.... The electricity is slowing down ; I didn't know that could happen!

A team of Orff are sent to spy on Jake when he tries to make contact with the Evolutionist Front, and for some time Jake doesn't know where they are because they can become invisible in the dark by dimming their eyes.

When Bella comments on the lights ' dimming, he tells her she is imagining things.

Gentex introduced an automatic dimming mirror based on electrochromism in 1987.

Materials commonly used on butterflies include: flags ( black, opaque materials ), nets ( layers of neutral-colored bobinette ), and diffusions ( translucent white materials of different densities ) for the purposes of blocking, dimming, and scattering light respectively.
