Authors/Creators
- 1. Center for Space Physics, Boston University
Description
- Brightness of the Sodium Moon Spot (SMS) is dominated by the Earth-Moon-Sun geometry
- The SMS brightness appears to be correlated with the sporadic source of meteors
- The SMS brightness apears not to be correlated with the density, the speed, the pressure, or the temperature of the solar wind.
