...occur near clusters of sunspots on the solar surface and seem to derive their energy from the magnetic fields that cause the spots. Suddenly flaring into extreme brilliance, a region hundreds of millions of square miles in area can erupt, shooting a stream of electromagnetic radiation and particles into space. Within 15 minutes after the appearance of some flares, bursts of electromagnetic radiation and some high-energy particles begin to buffet the earth and moon. These are the vanguard of the main and most dangerous body of particles-mostly protons-that arrive about ten hours later...
...enabled NASA to set up a reasonably reliable Solar Particle Alert Network (SPAN) to protect astronauts from the vagaries of the sun. SPAN consists of six observatories that monitor the sun 24 hours a day. During this week's Apollo flight, they will feed information into a space environment console in Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, where physicists and medical men will keep a constant vigil. In addition, Pioneer, Vela and other patrolling satellites will report any changes in solar radiation. Should SPAN report a suspicious-looking flare during the Apollo mission at the same time the satellites...
