      DISTURBING SUN

      By PHILIP LATHAM

      Illustrated by Freas

      [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Astounding Science Fiction May 1959. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]

      In the closing days of December, 1957, at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in New York, Dr. Niemand delivered a paper entitled simply, On the Nature of the Solar S-Regions.

These implications are discussed here in an exclusive interview with Dr. Niemand by Philip Latham.

      LATHAM. Dr. Niemand, what would you say is your main job?

      NIEMAND. I suppose you might say my main job today is to find out all I can between activity on the Sun and various forms of activity on the Earth.

      NIEMAND. Well, a sunspot is a form of solar activity.

      LATHAM. Just what is a sunspot?

      NIEMAND. I'm afraid I can't say just what a sunspot is. I can only describe it. A sunspot is a region
