x17 flare amp coronal mass ejection 20120127 720p
Bookmarked 735 weeks ago
an x17 flare in the largest category erupted jan 27 2012 along with a coronal mass ejection from the same active region that sent a cloud of particles towards earth a few days earlier since the active region had rotated to the edge of the sun the eruption was observed nicely in profile these images show a combination of two extreme ultraviolet imagers from sdo aia 171 and aia 131 the movie covers about seven hours of activity the impact of high-energy particles can be seen more clearly from soho039s coronagraph here: http:sohonascomnasagovpickoftheweekold03feb2012earth experienced an s-1 radiation storm caused by the protons that must have originated in the northern latitudes but from an area that faced more towards earth the bright coils that emerge after the flare are called post coronal loops wherein the region039s magnetic field is reorganizing itselfcredit: nasa gsfc sdosource: http:sdogsfcnasagovgallerypotwphpv=itemampampid=86

a tour of 30 doradus 720p
Bookmarked 743 weeks ago
30 doradus is a place where stars are born literally this region which is also known as the tarantula nebula is located about 160000 light years from earth within 30 doradus giant stars are producing intense radiation and powerful winds that are blowing off material from their surfaces these stellar winds and blasts from supernova explosions have heated some of the gas to millions of degrees the chandra x-ray observatory can detect this gas in the form of x-ray light this hot gas carves out gigantic bubbles in the surrounding cooler gas and dust that can be seen by the spitzer space telescope as infrared emission when combined the data from these two telescopes reveal an amazing view of this region that is found in the large magellanic cloud a small neighbor galaxy to our milky waycredit: harvard-smithsonian center for astrophysicssource: http:chandraharvardeduresourcespodcastshdindexhtml

right at midnight ut time the active region 1429 unleashed a powerful x54-class solar flare x-class flares are the strongest of the flares they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation stormsit appears that right after the large x54 flare another slightly lower x1 flare 5 times smaller occurred you can clearly see a wave going across the sun we are still gathering data and the space weather forecast lab will be having updates available soon credit: nasa sdo
