What did this? I did not see the image, but it sounds like a proton event hit... Sometimes during a solar proton event I've seen SOHO satelliet saturated like going through a snowstorm and then looking at the GOES weather satellites I've noticed "speckles" that were caused by the protons hitting the satellite. Compare the 2 images sometime and say, "Whew! thanks for Earth's magnetic field lines to stop these hard events from reaching us." -- Clear skies --------------- Michael Boschat Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Halifax Center My astronomy page: http://www.atm.dal.ca/~andromed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
