Lightning: a new tool for accurately measuring the sun's rotation when sunspots are not present

This is one big surprise. Moments of serendipity are some of the best quotes of science: "Hmmm, that's odd". As an amateur radio operator myself, I find this study fascinating.

Remember the recent "discussions" on contributors to discoveries and inventions of value to our world...the "who" and the "what"? Jews vs Arab? Uh oh, get ready...

Well, here's yet one more for you fromthe "Jews"...that's right, the Jews...yet one more discovery of value in the growing list of Jewish contributions to the betterment of our planet. Who was that again? The Jews you say? Not the Arabs? Hmmm, imagine that!

Score one for IsraeThanks to a serendipitous discovery by Tel Aviv University’s Prof. Colin Price, head of TAU’s Department of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and his graduate student Yuval Reuveni, science now has a more definitive and reliable tool for measuring the sun’s rotation when sunspots aren’t visible — and even when they are. The research, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research – Space Physics, could have important implications for understanding the interactions between the sun and the Earth.

That's how they got them curls, being from the lost tribe of hebrews myself via Uncle Sitting Bull Abrahmowitzky- the resonant tones produced by lightning dictate emf strength...
