Given that the arcs relate to solar phenomena, it is likely the circular plate represents the Sun not the Moon.
Even in that first glimpse, I knew that here was something very strange and outside all previous records of solar phenomena.
A second telescope is planned on the same site, to study solar phenomena.
Scientists study sunspots and other solar phenomena, so they can know what they do to Earth.
Surely, taking advantage of the solar phenomenon, the site was also used for religious ceremonies.
This enables stereoscopic imaging of the Sun and solar phenomena, such as coronal mass ejections.
Its astronomical activities were mostly limited to timekeeping and observation of solar and stellar phenomena.
The project scientist for the mission, Michael Kaiser, said the coronal mass ejections were the most powerful solar phenomena.
Although he was wrong, he recognised the spots for what they were - solar phenomena.
He is known for resolving the several myths of Greece and the world into idealisations of solar phenomena.
