Includes bibliographical references and index. Understanding how the Sun changes though its 11-year sunspot cycle and how these changes affect the vast space around the Sun ??? the heliosphere ??? has been one of the principal objectives of space research since the advent of the space age. This book presents the evolution of the heliosphere through an entire solar activity cycle. The last solar cycle (cycle 23) has been the best observed from both the Earth and from a fleet of spacecraft. Of these, the joint ESA-NASA Ulysses probe has provided continuous observations of the state of the heliosphere since 1990 from a unique vantage point, t. |
