Extract

Soft X-ray photographs of the Sun taken from the manned Skylab satellite (Vaiana et al. 1973) gave, not the earliest, but perhaps the most graphic evidence that the solar corona is patchy. During the Skylab mission (May 1973 to February 1974), the solar corona as usually envisaged covered only 80% of the Sun (Bohlin 1977). The areas lacking a ‘dense’ corona are called coronal holes (Withbroe al. 1971; Waldmeier 1975).
