The Sun, Sun Myths, and Sun Worship

1976
Most of us take the sun for granted. We know it to be a heavenly body subject to the same laws of physics that govern events on earth. For example, we know that the earth’s axis is not vertical to the earth’s orbit around the sun; that the resultant oblique angles at which the sun’s rays strike the earth cause seasonal variation in radiation (as Figure

The Toboggan Sun

Applied Optics, 2005
Special variants of the Novaya Zemlya effect may arise from localized temperature inversions that follow the height profile of hills or mountains. Rather than following its natural path, the rising or setting Sun may, under such circumstances, appear to slide along a distant mountain slope.

Sun Exposure and Melanomas on Sun-Shielded and Sun-Exposed Body Areas

2014
Malignant melanoma is a tumor that arises from melanocytes and accounts for around 4% of all malignancies in Europe and Northern America and for about 11% in Australia and New Zealand. About 10% of primary melanomas arise from sites not exposed to sun. Acral lentiginous melanoma, mucosal melanoma (in the oral cavities, nasal sinuses, genital tract and ...

Is the Sun Shrinking?

Science, 1980
Observations of 23 transits of Mercury in front of the sun between 1736 and 1973 show no indication of any significant change in the diameter of the sun. Regression analysis yields a decrease of the angular diameter, as viewed from the earth, of under 0.3 arc second per century (> 90 percent confidence limit).

Sun and Skin

Dermatologica, 2009
Sunlight is the main environmental factor influencing human skin. The sun-light’s terrestrial spectrum is different from the extraterrestrial one, sunlight being changed by the filter effect of ozone and particles in the stratosphere and atmosphere. Attention is drawn to the influence of ‘supersonic transporters’ (SST) and chlorofluoromethanes on this ...

The Communicating Vessels is a drawn, polemic architectural project that has been twenty years in the making, it explores the impact of twenty –first Century technology on the old dialectic between house and garden. The project is highly surreal and often uses narrative, particularly the relationship between “The Professor” and “The Boy”. The Professor

[Sun and sun protection].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 1994
Protection against the sun in Denmark is only necessary from mid April to September. The number of erythema units may reach about 16 per day in the summer sun and about 50% of the biological active radiation is found between 12 a.m. and 3 p.m. (summertime).

The magnetic Sun

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2008
The nature of our star, the Sun, is dominated by its complex and variable magnetic fields. It is the purpose of this paper to review the fundamental nature of our magnetic Sun by outlining the most basic principles behind the way the Sun works and how its fields are generated, and to examine not only the historical observations of our magnetic star ...
