| Vesper33 User ID: 5245441 United States05/12/2012 06:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IBEX & FLUFF UPDATE: The Sun Has No Bow-Shock! Quoting: Hugh M Eye IBEX’s novel imaging technique has unleashed one surprise after another. Now principal investigator David McComas (Southwest Research Institute) and 10 colleagues have turned IBEX's attention to the Sun's motion through space. It turns out that the Sun is moving through interstellar gas at 52,000 mph, about 12% slower than previously measured by the Ulysses spacecraft. So what does the new model look like? IBEX's observations confirm that the Sun is still moving (albeit slowly) through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a fluff of higher density gas roughly 30 light-years across. Combined with a relatively strong interstellar magnetic field, the Sun's slower advance is no longer enough to push interstellar gas into a bow shock. At best, it makes a "bow wave," a region of slightly increased density — more like a fast-moving boat than a fighter jet. This means a significant change in how scientists think about the Sun and its interaction with the stuff beyond its influence. "It's too early to say exactly what this new data means for our heliosphere. Decades of research have explored scenarios that included a bow shock. That research now has to be redone using the latest data," says McComas. More here: [link to www.skyandtelescope.com] This is amazing! Our sun is moving 12% slower and no bow shock! Wow....learned a lot today! I wonder if it will continue to slow. That would explain the anomalous proton storms. Space proton storms instead of from sun. So, there is empirical verifiable data from IBEX that the interstellar cloud is having an impact on the sun? Maybe, I am just behind the times here, but Wow, this is beyond a conspiracy theory at this point. I am assuming that we, as in NASA or tptb, really do not know what to expect from this phenomena in regards to the sun or earth? IMHO, if there was ever a reason to prepare it is this, and it is now. I am just floored at this revelation. Perfer et Obdura;Dolor hic tibi proderit olim.Fortes Fortuna Iuvat! (Be Patient & Strong; someday this pain will be useful to you. Fortune favors the brave) |

"The Heliosphere's Interstellar Interaction: No Bow Shock" [link to www.sciencemag.org] "As the Sun moves through the local interstellar medium, its supersonic, ionized solar wind carves out a cavity called the heliosphere. Recent observations from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft show that the relative motion of the Sun with respect to the interstellar medium is slower and in a somewhat different direction than previously thought. Here, we provide combined consensus values for this velocity vector and find that they have important implications for the global interstellar interaction. In particular, the velocity is almost certainly slower than the fast magnetosonic speed, with no bow shock forming ahead of the heliosphere as was formerly widely expected. Received for publication 24 February 2012. Accepted for publication 19 April 2012." Links to other articles about the paper... [link to annesastronomynews.com] [link to www.astrobio.net] [link to www.sciencenews.org] [link to www.eurekalert.org] Nowhere do the articles or abstract say that the sun is slowing down. What they say is that a new study utilizing IBEX data indicates that the sun's relative velocity is less than that previously theorized from Ulysses and other data, slow enough that no shock wave is formed. New satellite, new data, new analysis, new conclusions, new theory. No doom. At most, opposing camps of scientists will form scurmish lines defending their respective theories with blazing sliderules until, in turn, new data, new models and new conclusions come along to displace those currently thought of as cutting edge. -- |

Peace I'd be willing to bet that any changes will be insignificant. There is a very good possibility that the differences are just a result of different instruments and methods of computations, and there hasn't been any appreciable change in the handful of years we've been able to measure these parameters.
