The most interesting fact on the image (IMO) is that the halo is clearly elliptical, why?
Is the image aligned to the "main" ecliptic plane of Solar system or rather to Sun's rotation plane (7.25° from those) ?
- 0PingWithJesus 6y agoI think what you're seeing is either a random noise fluctuations, or perhaps a result of the coordinate system they're using for that image. If you take a look at a similar, more up to date, image from Super-K that uses more data you don't see any sort of elliptical nature. http://www-sk.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/sk/physics/image/image_solarnu/solpic_1500d_2_1.jpg http://www-sk.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/sk/physics/image/image_sola...
