Talk:Coronal mass ejection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] New Image

I've reverted back to the old one, as it's much better and clearer to make out the CME's in.

[edit] Effect of CME?

This sentence moved from the article needs expert attention: The polarization of water molecules and the amount of deuterium within the atmosphere is dependent of the intesity (believe it or not).

Could it be saying that a CME affects Earth's upper atmosphere such that lighter hydrogen atoms are selectively lost leading to more deuterium remaining in water which in turn affects their average polarization? -Wikianon 09:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Should a CME be defined as being observed by a coronagraph? If LASCO or STEREO is down, is there no CMEs? I think, "sometimes (or usually) observed by coronagraphs" should be a corrected definition of the first sentence USferdinand 02:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of information

Where is size? Or temperature? Common folks would be interested in that sort of things.

Would be nice to mention actual biggest recorded CME with sources and parameters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.144.95.66 (talk) 11:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
