Extract

In this paper 80 MHz heliograph observations are described of a remarkable solar outburst on 1969 March 30 initiated by a flare on the invisible hemisphere of the Sun. The event raises several questions of theoretical interest, in particular the implication that the magnetohydrodynamic waves responsible for certain type II bursts must travel along curved paths.
