. NEVER look directly at the sun without a proper solar filter! . We have lots of different equipment available for use. Here you see our 6" solar filters. Our club always recommends that you use a FULL APERTURE solar filter. In the picture you will notice a TYPE 2 filter for VISUAL use and a TYPE 3 filter for PHOTOGRAPHIC use. Here is an easy way to remember which type solar filter you need for VISUAL OBSERVING: You have 2 EYES so you need a TYPE 2 filter!! .

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...
