nsfw:racy: Possible ocr: UVCS The purpose of the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) is_to provide a detailed description of the extended solar corona that can be used to address a broad range of scientific questions regarding the nature of the solar corona and the generation of the solar wind. UVCS makes measurements of the solar corona be- tween 1.3 and 12 solar radii from Sun's center with high spectral and spatial resolution. The instrument creates an artificial solar eclipse in ultraviolet light, blocking out the bright light from the SO- lar disk and allowing observation of the less intense (by several o ...
