WATERLOO, Ontario, Canada -- By comparing the infrared spectra of sunspots and a simulation of infrared spectra of very hot water, scientists have confirmed that very hot water does indeed exist in sunspots. Fiery eruptions on the sun, captured by NASA and the European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft, occur in 11-year cycles. A multinational research team from Canada, the UK and Russia not only confirmed the belief that water exists on the sun, but also clearly demonstrated the power of spectral analysis based on variational treatment of nuclear motions in a...Read full article
