Image Caption: The John W. Evans Solar Facility of the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak, New Mexico. The
characteristic "Rush to the Poles" behavior of coronal Fe XIV emission features, observed by Altrock and colleagues, results in a
prediction that the next solar maximum will occur between January and April of 2000. Download: |

Image Caption: As the degree of solar activity increases, the location of high-latitude coronal activity moves toward the poles. The
progression of FE XIV emission observed with the NSO-Sac Peak Evans Solar Facitity can be used to predict the time of the next
maximum of solar activity. Download: |
