breezy 39,254 Report post Posted July 31, 2012 The Filamentary Firmament Plasma “tornadoes” on the Sun. Credit: NASA/Goddard Spaceflight Center Jul 31, 2012 Strands of magnetically confined plasma can be seen throughout the cosmos. "A rotating vortex of solar plasma was the topic of a recent press release. Does that phenomenon relate to other energetic vortices? Previous Picture of the Day articles describe many cases of ionized clouds in space that are inexplicable if conventional theories are consulted. How do both incidents relate to one another and to others? In an Electric Universe, every body in the Solar System, along with every star and galaxy, is charged with electricity and exists within a plasma environment. Spacecraft sent to other planets, as well as satellites orbiting Earth, see aurorae, lightning bolts, tornadoes, and jets of material. Volcanoes on Earth “spit lightning” out of their craters. Dust storms on Mars are fed by gigantic funnels that rise for thousands of meters. Comets, Saturn’s rings, fountains of charged particles erupting from Jupiter’s moon Io, and many other examples of electrical activity are found farther out in our local neighborhood. When plasma moves through a dusty gas, it ionizes the material, initiating an electric current. More than a century ago, Michael Faraday proved that when electricity flows through any substance a magnetic field will form. One aspect of magnetic fields in plasma is that they will generate “plasma ropes”: the field surrounds plasma, confining it into coherent strands known as Birkeland currents." http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2012/07/30/the-filamentary-firmament-2/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breezy 39,254 Report post Posted July 31, 2012 X Marks the Spot Sunspot 1402 ejects an X-2 solar flare on January 27, 2012. Credit: NASA/SOHO Jul 19, 2012 An X-2 class solar flare recently missed a direct impact with Earth. "Heliophysicists classify solar flares according to their brightness in X-ray wavelengths. C-class flares are the smallest on the scale, with X-ray measurements in the 10^-6 watts per square meter range (W/m^2), while X-class flares can exceed 10^-4 W/m^2. Why is that important? An X-2 solar flare has enough energy to overload satellite circuits and disrupt other forms of communication should its full force be directed at Earth. Modern astronomers believe that solar flares, or coronal mass ejections (CME), occur when magnetic reconnection events in the Sun’s atmosphere cause a short circuit in magnetic field lines. According to one theory, “magnetic energy” then accelerates the superheated gases into space. Although no one knows what “magnetic reconnection” is, it is the only explanation offered. The prevailing view is that the Sun accelerates charged particles away from its surface in the same way that sound waves are amplified. Pulsations in the solar photosphere travel along “magneto-acoustic wave-guides,” otherwise known as magnetic flux tubes. It is that kinetic effect that pushes “hot gas” outward." http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2012/07/18/x-marks-the-spot-2/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narnug 731 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 The sun is not doing anything out of the ordinary. WHY? It has been proofen that the faster you travel the more time slows down. If time slows down for you you would see everything going very fast around you. BUT... In fact time slowing down has nothing to do with speed. IT IS USING ENERGY THAT SLOWS TIME DOWN. What have we here on earth been doing more and more for the past 150 to 200 years?? Well one of the changes we made in that time is using more and more energy. If using energy slows time down then we are slowing our/Earths time down which causes us seeing the sun going faster....correct? The reason why nobody understands me is that no matter how much we slow our time down we always count 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. That is because we are a part of the solar system which is our larger "time" of reference. We are creating imbalance by over consumption of energy. Today this is described by some as "climate change" or "global warming". If people would realize this "space and time" view to the problem and that their surroundings are not just their back yards but also time and space they would maybe stop arguing about who or what is to blame and take some actions to regain balance our selves. If we will not do it, nature will, not some aliens. And natures way to achieve balance will not be pleasant for us. Hope scientists will be able to see this before it is too late. This is easy to fix but only if this is common knowledge. Amb narnug ps: PM me if you think I have started preaching and want me to stop. I will obey to that kind of requests. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breezy 39,254 Report post Posted September 1, 2012 Solar storms can destabilize power grids at midlatitudes August 31, 2012 "The Sun is capable of disrupting electrical systems on Earth in a variety of ways, from solar flares and coronal mass ejections to proton storms. Typically, it is only objects far above the Earth's surface, or systems at high altitudes at polar latitudes, that are considered at risk except during the most powerful storms. Notable recent examples include solar activity during March 1989 and October 2003 (the "Halloween Storms"), which knocked out power in Quebec, Canada, and Sweden, respectively. Research by Marshall et al., however, finds that even a moderate event can have destructive effects far from the typical regions of concern.

breezy 39,254 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Link Between Coronal Mass Ejections And The Sun’s Interior Motion Sept 25, 2012 Image Credit: A computer visualization of the sun (red sphere) and its magnetic field lines (orange and aquamarine). The close-up shows the final stage of the emergence of magnetic fields from under the solar surface and the associated X-ray emissions. This sophisticated computer model is used to investigate the drivers of harmful space weather phenomena, including coronal mass ejections. Image courtesy of Cooper Downs, Predictive Science, Inc. "After forty long years of debates and theories and counter-theories, the community of solar physics scientists has still failed to come to a consensus about what causes the sun’s powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs). CMEs have profound “space weather” effects on land based power grids and satellites in near-Earth geospace. An international team of scientists explains the mysterious physical mechanisms behind the origin of CMEs in a study published in Nature Physics. The results, based on computer simulations, expose the intricate connections between CMEs and motions in the sun’s interior. This new data could lead to better forecasting of hazardous space weather conditions. Clouds of magnetic fields and plasma – a hot gas composed of charged particles – comprise CMEs. The most powerful and fastest of these events explode from the sun at more than a million miles per hour, with an energy release more powerful than the entire worldwide stockpile of nuclear weapons. “By studying CMEs we learn not only about the drivers of space weather but also about the structure of the atmosphere of the sun and other sun-like stars,” says lead author Ilia Roussev of the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa."

breezy 39,254 Report post Posted October 27, 2012 Astronomers eye another comet possibly torn by the Sun’s gravity October 27, 2012 "October 27, 2012 – SPACE – Amateur astronomers have been keeping a close eye on Comet 168P/Hergenrother since October 1st when it suddenly brightened 500-fold, from 15th to 8th magnitude. At the time, tthe comet was making its closest approch to the sun (1.4 AU). Some observers speculated that solar heating caused the fragile comet to break apart. Last night, a group of astronomers found evidence to support this idea. “Using the Faulkes North (F65) telescope,” writes Ernesto Guido et al., “we detected a fragmentation in Comet 168P. Our images, taken on Oct. 26th, reveal the presence of a secondary nucleus, or fragment, about two arcseconds away from the main central condensation of comet 168P.” This is probably a chunk of rocky ice emerging from the haze of gas and dust that surrounds the main nucleus, still hidden inside. Comets are notoriously fragile, so it’s no surprise that Comet 168P/Hergenrother is breaking apart in this way. The only question is what happens next? Will the comet spit in two, with two heads and two tails, one tracking the fragment and the other tracking the parent? Or is this the prelude to a more complete disintegration. –Space Weather http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
