This dataset is extraordinary, said Matt Penn, principal investigator for the project. Normally during a solar eclipse, we get about 2 minutes of data in the region closest to the photosphere [solar surface]. But Citizen CATE allowed us to get an hour and a half of data.NSF congratulates Matt Penn, the NSO, and the entire Citizen CATE project team on this great success, said David Boboltz, NSF program director for NSO. Citizen CATE will provide roughly 90 minutes of continuous observations allowing scientists to study the detailed dynamics of the inner solar cor

Eclipse aids study of violent sun storms, a major threat to power grids
Bursts of the sun's energy that burned down telegraph stations in the 1860s could cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to today's infrastructure, said astronomer Matt Penn with the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, Ariz.

Scientists Prepare For 'The Most Beautiful Thing You Can See In The Sky'
"The corona, I think, is the most beautiful thing you can see in the sky," says Matt Penn, an astronomer the National Solar Observatory in Arizona. "The corona is just fantastic and filamentary and delicate and awesome."
"The idea is you imagine somebody across the table from you drinking a milkshake through a straw, you could track the particles moving along the straw and figure out their velocity," said Matt Penn, heading up the Citizen CATE (Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse) project.

History shows there's a lot to learn from planetary transits
And the science being planned for the upcoming Venus transit is a step ahead of research done during the 2004 Venus transit, as instrumentation and research goals have advanced, said Matt Penn, lead scientist at the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak observatory in Arizona. [ 2012 Venus Tran
sunspots has steadily declined over the past 13 years. If that decline continues, the fields will fall below the threshold required to support the cold gas in sunspots, and the familiar blemishes will all but disappear around 2022, notes study coauthor Matt Penn of the National Solar Observatory in Tucson.

Sunspots may quiet down for a while, scientists say
Matt Penn of the National Solar Observatory and his colleagues used the McMath-Pierce Telescope at Kitt Peak in Arizona to monitor the magnetic strength of sunspots. They observed that, for the last 13 years, the strength has been declining regularly. Doing what Penn called "the dangerous activity o
