During that time, all spacecraft have become virtually incommunicado for about two weeks every two years. The reason is solar conjunction. Solar conjunction is the period when Earth and Mars, in their eternal march around the Sun, are obscured from each other by the fiery orb of the Sun itself. Like dancers on either side of a huge bonfire, the two planets are temporarily invisible to each other. The solar conjunction moratorium on commanding will be July 22 to Aug. 1, 2017. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory respond in a variety of ways. They turn off some instruments. They collect data from others and store it. In some cases, they continue sending data to Earth, knowing that some data will be lost. Whether they get a break from everyday operations depends on what mission they're supporting. No one attempts to send new instructions to Mars during solar conjunction. It's impossible to predict what information might be lost due to interference from charged particles from the Sun, and that lost information could potentially endanger the spacecraft. Instead, prior to solar conjunction, engineers send two weeks' worth of instructions and wait. [link to mars.nasa.gov (secure)]  I have no doubt that MAVEN will be recording data for later transmission to Earth after the solar conjunction. This may be weeks, months or a year from now for NASA to publish the info.Earlier this year MAVEN scientists announced that that the solar wind probably destroyed whatever atmosphere Mars had . Mars has no global magnetosphere like Earth or Jupiter, just pockets of local magnetic 'umbrellas'. "Solar wind and radiation are responsible for stripping the Martian atmosphere, transforming Mars from a planet that could have supported life billions of years ago into a frigid desert world, according to new results from NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft." “We’ve determined that most of the gas ever present in the Mars atmosphere has been lost to space,” said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator from the University of Colorado in Boulder.

| Digital mix guy User ID: 23225561 United States07/27/2017 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A coronal mass ejection occurs when the sun blasts a huge cloud of charged plasma into space. The energy and speed of a CME depends on the active region, or sunspot, from which it originates. By the time a CME reaches Earth's orbit, its speed has been further influenced by its trip through space. In order for two CMEs to create an extreme space weather storm, they must occur in quick succession, interacting with one another as close to the sun as possible. These powerful ejections expand as they travel through space, but their colliding magnetic fields can inhibit their growth. "For two CMEs to react, they don't have to travel along exactly the same path," Liu said. "As long as the difference between their paths is smaller than their width, they are likely to interact."

Scientists are hoping to unlock the secrets of solar winds and flares from the sun. Solar Probe Plus will withstand temperatures of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Nasa want to understand the threats of space weather on our existence. 27 February 2017 Nasa is sending a robot to the sun to help understand dangerous solar activity which could threaten humanity's existence. The spacecraft will swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun's surface next year- facing extremes in heat and radiation. The mission, known as the Solar Probe Plus (SPP), will go seven times closer to the sun's surface than any spacecraft before it.

STEREO Ahead was looking at the blast from the side so a glancing blow was to be expected at best. But this wasn't a gentle glancing blow... STEREO Ahead got hit hard. Much harder than one would expect from just a glancing blow. There is some crazy data being recorded by the space craft. There are some data dropouts but we can see an impact already yesterday around 18 UTC where the total field strength of the IMF (Bt) already reached an impressive 40nT. From 20 to 23 UTC there is a data dropout but after 23 UTC we see some intense data where the total field strength of the IMF (Bt) lies close to 80nT with a steady southward component (Bz) near -60nT. These intense readings last for multiple hours which is very strange for a glancing blow.
