During its scanning mode, the Harvard spectrometer can build up and store about 12 ultra-violet pictures of the whole sun each hour, recording the occurrence and spread of solar flares in every direction. However, it can scan only one wave-length at a time...
...ultra-violet spectroscope built by the University will be constantly looking at those short wave lengths of solar light which are normally absorbed by the earth's atmosphere. There are three reasons for this experiment...
