SPACE WEATHER BALLOON DATA: Almost once a week, and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. "Lunar Distance." 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distanceīetween Earth and the Moon.
Each pendant comes with a greeting card showing the pendant in flight and telling the story of its trip to the stratosphere and back.Īll sales support hands-on STEM education The opal's infinity wrap is engraved with "I Love You More." It's the perfect birthday, anniversary or (never too early!) Christmas gift for that special someone who loves space. At the apex of the flight it floated 101,326 feet above the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California:
On June 3, 2022, this sterling silver opal pendant hitched a ride on an Earth to Sky Calculus cosmic ray research balloon. "I LOVE YOU MORE" OPAL: Nothing says "I love you" like jewelry from space. If the sunspot had been facing us, we might now be experiencing strong geomagnetic storms with spectacular low-latitude auroras. The explosion registered M9 on GOES satellite X-ray sensors, but the uneclipsed flare was probably much stronger-perhaps even an X-flare. 29th partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. This movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is a good example. Most of the explosions occured while the sunspot was approaching or even rounding the sun's western limb. The simple reason why: AR3088 was never facing Earth. All the rest sailed harmlessly into space. Only one and maybe two delivered glancing blows of no consequence. More than half of the explosions also produced a coronal mass ejection (CME). Over the past four days, the strangely-magnetized active region produced more than a dozen M-class solar flares:Įach X-ray peak in the graph above produced a corresponding shortwave radio blackout on Earth. ĮARTH JUST DODGED A LOT OF CMES: It seemed like sunspot AR3088 would never stop exploding. Audio of the teleconference will stream live online at.
NASA hopes to solve the problem in time for a new launch window on Sept. The first attempt on Monday was scrubbed when a hydrogen fuel line failed to fully open and properly cool one of the four main engines. 30th, to discuss the upcoming launch of the Artemis I moon rocket. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.ĪRTEMIS UPDATE LATER TODAY: NASA will hold a teleconference at 6 p.m. Credit: SDO/HMIĬosmic Rays Solar Cycle 25 is beginning, and this is reflected in the number of cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere. Sunspot AR3089 has a delta-class magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class solar flares.
