No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
From this point, warnings will be flashed to scientists throughout the world to redouble their observational efforts in anticipation of unusual activity in cosmic rays, aurora, earth magnetism, and radio propagation disturbances.
The warnings will be based mainly on world-wide observations of the surface of the sun and on soundings of the ionosphere, the electrically charged upper portion of the atmosphere.
When the surface of the sun erupts, shooting out flames for hundreds of thousands of miles, the earth's atmosphere is showered with vastly increased quantities of particles from outer space. This solar bombardment not only causes magnetic compasses to misbehave but also produces brilliant displays of Northern Lights and causes changes in radio communication through its effect on the ionosphere.
