Talk:Solar proton event

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"SPE event occurs.... when protons get caught in Earth magnetic field." I think SPE can be experienced anywhere in our solar system. Now it seems like they would be something related to Earth.

I would propose this definition http://pdf.aiaa.org/preview/CDReadyMSPACE07_1808/PV2007_6047.pdf

"Solar proton events are conditions that occur in space that cause the flux of protons to increase by 4-5 orders of magnitude, at times within a matter of minutes. These events are spawned by eruptive activity that occurs at the Sun." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.169.141.54 (talk) 09:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
