| pink cat User ID: 10754816 United States03/15/2012 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i thought you might be interested in nasa's astro pic of the day: [link to apod.nasa.gov] "Solar Flare in the Gamma-ray Sky Credit: NASA, DOE, International Fermi LAT Collaboration Explanation: What shines in the gamma-ray sky? The answer is usually the most exotic and energetic of astrophysical environments, like active galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, or incredibly dense pulsars, the spinning remnants of exploded stars. But on March 7, a powerful solar flare, one of a series of recent solar eruptions, dominated the gamma-ray sky at energies up to 1 billion times the energy of visible light photons. These two panels illustrate the intensity of that solar flare in all-sky images recorded by the orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. On March 6, as on most days, the Sun was almost invisible to Fermi's imaging detectors. But during the energetic X-class flare, it became nearly 100 times brighter than even the Vela Pulsar at gamma-ray energies. Now faded in Fermi's view, the Sun will likely shine again in the gamma-ray sky as the solar activity cycle approaches its maximum." it's pretty astounding looking! 🦋 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4526619 I know the Youtube link. What I mean is what site is that Youtube clip getting that simulation from? Sorry i don't know... I don't know who uploaded YT vid, may be from a NASA press conference or news release. Here's a similar model from NASA: [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] NASA super-computer modeling homepage (you may need special data and/or software, computing power, bandwidth, etc. Some of these models will crash your browser if you lack the needed RAM): [link to ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov] The best tool I've found for understanding the behavior of SW particles and the magnetosphere is NASA's MAGNETO-MINI-GOLF (I'm not joking): [link to sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov] Feel free to spread any knowledge you find here. Everything I've researched in this field was due to learning from this thread and using inter-web searches to dig a little deeper. Knowledge can be fun! |

Quoting: FraudulentZodiac  Why was the direction of the magnetic pressure flipped??? If you go back to look at the NICT it is blank for that time.  hugh, ninz, tgod, anybody want to tackle this question for us? oe.. I believe what we were seeing the other day was a magnetic substorm and the result of Birkeland Currents streaming from a reconnection in the magnetotail. Here is a diagram showing the complexity of the electro-magnetic interactions caused by strong geomagnetic events. [link to en.wikipedia.org] In this video we can see a reversal of the current flow towards the night side. [link to www.youtube.com] These substorms and current flows in the magnetotail are still under much investigation and are not entirely understood. This why they've been launching rockets into aurora and launching many missions to study these phenomena (Cluster, THEMIS, and Geotail missins come to mind). "Auroral arcs generally extend in the east-west direction, and Birkeland believed that substorm currents flowed horizontally along them, connecting to space at the ends of the arcs. Satellites have confirmed that electric currents indeed enter the atmosphere from far-away space, flow horizontally for some distance and then head out again; and although their actual structure differs greatly from Birkeland's model, they are now known as Birkeland currents. They represent a new and altogether different type of electric current in space. Other currents described so far--the ring current, the current on the magnetopause which confines the Earth's field, and the plasma sheet current which flows across the tail--all are "coasting currents" and (in principle) consume no energy. As long as a plasma is present in a suitable magnetic field, the spiraling and drifting motions of its ions and electrons automatically produce the electric current flow. Electric currents which flow in and out of the ionosphere are more like house currents, which need a voltage (a kind of electrical pressure) to drive them through wires and appliances, and which do transmit energy. Indeed, Birkeland currents might be one of the avenues by which the magnetosphere extracts energy from the solar wind."-- more on substorms and currents here: [link to www.phy6.org] That doesnt look just some swirling currents just outside the atmosphere. That shows the same kind of pressure that the solar wind does on the Sun side of the planet. That interstellar cloud Gabe and sickscent have been talking about could disrupt normal astophysical thinking, when you encounter an unknown such as this everything is speculative “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |
