This is cool! The mysterious dip. "The dip just defies all logic." We have so much to learn! What a great time to be alive!

In earths atmosphere, "dips" in certain frequencies are usually caused by absorption. So I wonder if there exists something in the corona that absorbs that exact frequency. A very tiny nuclear structure with only one resonant frequency it absorbs.

I love trying to solve mysteries like this.
