The sun emits radiation from solar flares at Terahertz frequencies. This recently discovered type of radiation is different from other types of solar radiation such as ultraviolet rays and microwaves that have been studied more extensively. Understand more about solar flares will help us learn about the changes in the sun’s magnetic field and thus the earth’s magnetic field as well. In order to better capture and understand solar flares, we have built a pointing system that specifically reads Terahertz radiation and works most effectively when pointing directly at the sun. However, because the majority of this radiation is trapped by atmospheric water vapor, we will suspend the pointing system on a platform attached to a weather balloon to a height of 120,000 feet above the earth’s surface. At this altitude the pointing instrument can read the wavelengths of radiation and acquire data to be analyzed. We hope to use this information to learn more about the changes in the magnetic field of the sun and how it affects the earth’s magnetic field and the energy we get from the sun.
