Eclipse on the Coral Sea: Cycle 24 Ascending

GONG 2012 / LWS/SDO-5 / SOHO 27

As we emerge from one of the deepest and longest solar minima on record, with a new and powerful eye on the Sun -SDO- we invite all those with an interest is solar activity to gather in beautiful Palm Cove, Australia to review and assess our current knowledge and understanding of our magnetic star, and to experience the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse on November 14, 2012.

Topics of discussion will include, but not be limited to:

• Observing and understanding the solar cycle
• Oscillations and seismology of activity from interior to corona
• Large scale transients and CMEs
• Small-scale transients and high-cadence observations
• New results from SDO, Hinode, and the new instruments on the ground and all other aspects of the active Sun
