  • A dead heat!! Solar flare direct shot!

    A dead heat!! Solar flare direct shot!

    This one could affect satellites and GPS and all the other typical things that get affected..

    From solar ham:

    A coronal mass ejection (CME) with a halo signature is evident following the major X9.0 solar flare this morning. Because the source region AR 3842 is directly facing Earth, the plasma cloud appears to be aimed directly towards our planet. A further update will be provided later today once a CME tracking model becomes available. Please note that a faint CME associated with the X7 event on October 1st is expected to pass our planet sometime during the next few days. Aurora sky watchers at middle to high latitudes should have their camera batteries charged up should geomagnetic storming be observed as forecast.

    And at this point, it appears to be the largest solar flare, since at least 2017.

  • Moonfall: Autumn of the mini moon

    Moonfall: Autumn of the mini moon

    Get ready for this bingo card moment..

    Moonfall!

    Earth will get a second moon for about two months this year when a small asteroid begins to orbit our planet. The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, revolving around Earth in a horseshoe shape from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25.

    Researchers at the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, an asteroid monitoring system funded by NASA, spotted the asteroid using an instrument in Sutherland, South Africa and labeled it 2024 PT5. 

    But all thus hubub.. and you probably won’t even be able to see it..

    The study’s lead author Carlos de la Fuente Marcos told Space.com the mini-moon will be too small to see with amateur telescopes or binoculars but professional astronomers with stronger tools will be able to spot it..

    Another solar light show mat be coming

    Rarities are becoming continuously commomplace in 2024.

    Forecasters with the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and warning about the prospect of a strong Geomagnetic storm; while there could be many negative impacts around the planet due to the storm, the aurora or “Northern Lights” could make an appearance over a large part of North America.

    The SWPC has issued Geomagnetic Storm Watches for G1 conditions on July 29, G3 conditions on July 30, and G1 conditions for July 31.

    A meteor may have shaken parts of New York City and New jersey

    Residents in parts of New York City and New Jersey were shaken by a loud boom Tuesday July 16 morning.. NASA officials saying it was likely due to a daylight fireball meteor.

    NASA’s Meteor Watch team reports that the daylight fireball was seen at 11:17 a.m. ET, according to an update shared to Facebook Tuesday afternoon..

    A daylight fireball is a meteor that is bright enough to be visible during daylight hours because it’s burning brighter than the sun’s light as it enters the Earth’s atmosphere…

  • NASA predicts an asteroid has a 72 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2038

    NASA predicts an asteroid has a 72 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2038

    In a hypothetical scenario posed to a group of nearly 100 government representatives, NASA found that their plan to combat the asteroid hurtling towards Earth had several “high-level gaps,” according to their presentation.

    They said space officials have “limited readiness to quickly implement needed space missions,” and methods to keep the public informed on the impending disaster are not fully developed.

  • Staring at the sun in reverence: The 2024 solar eclipse

    Staring at the sun in reverence: The 2024 solar eclipse

    When the sun vanished behind the mighty tiny moon there was a reverence and silence that seemingly came over the crowd..

    Animals acted..off.. everything grew dim with long shadows and a dull faint light.

    While not totality, it was cooler and calmer than what I experienced in 2017..

    When the sun began coming back with light everyone breathed more of a relief than they expected to..

    The mighty sun rose again. The heat and safety returned ..

    It sure makes sense how worshipping the sun became a thing.

    But this very real and intense moment on ABC news captures it all: The excitement.. the animals reacting.. the silence. the reverence.. the darkness.. The deep seated ancestral fear of darkness.. And the return of the light:

    @abcworldnews

    “It is really, truly breathtaking here in Burlington, Vermont.” @ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis were in Burlington, Vermont, as the #EclipseAcrossAmerica made its way across the country. They witnessed the solar eclipse, and the sun’s diamond ring after totality ended. @ABC News Live @Good Morning America @National Geographic

    So that’s a wrap!! See you in Florida in 2045!! If I’m alive.. my son may give it a shot in 2079 when he’s 68..

    Until then.. what a show!

  • JAMES WEBB RUMORS: Don’t count on them too much

    JAMES WEBB RUMORS: Don’t count on them too much

    Rumors Circulating That James Webb Has Discovered Life on Another World

    No, But… Ars Technica reports that the persistent rumor that the James Webb Space Telescope has found a planet with strong signs of life h

    YAHOO NEWS

    Rumors sure.. but it is more than likely that NASA will not Admit to such—though it just seems entirely impossible that earth is the only inhabitable planet in the universe.. that aside, Futurism reports this:

    Though a NASA official told Ars that no “definitive evidence” has been found so far, they acknowledged the possibility of a huge discovery on the horizon that — sorry, folks — would take years worth of followup research to confirm.

    “It is anticipated that JWST observations may lead to the initial identification of potential biosignatures that could make habitability more or less likely for a given exoplanet,” Knicole Colón, the James Webb’s deputy project scientist for exoplanet science, told Ars. “Future missions will be needed to conclusively establish the habitability of an exoplanet.”

    It’s an answer worded to tamp down any out-of-control rumors, but it certainly leaves the door open to some exciting possibilities — a no, but “not a hard no,” in Ars’ analysis.

    So keep looking to the stars..

  • Mega solar flare like no other in recent memory

    Mega solar flare like no other in recent memory

    Sun’s strongest solar flare in years knocks out radio frequencies

    Rare solar storm could bring northern lights to New England.

    AXIOS

    NOAA scientists determined Thursday’s X-class flare as not only the largest of the current Solar Cycle 25, but also the biggest since September 2017.

    More..

    “This is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded,” NOAA wrote Thursday in a report regarding the flare, which is caused by localized explosions on the sun’s surface that expel intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation.

    The alarming solar event occurred Thursday after an active sunspot named AR 3514 erupted with a large class X.28 solar flare — the most powerful variety that the sun is capable of producing, as seen in ominous photos captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

    NASA predicts large asteroid impact could be in Earth’s future(WTAJ) — NASA scientists are predicting a chance that asteroid Bennu will strike Earth in the future, potentially affecting an area the size WTAJ – WWW.WTAJ.COM 

    But your kids kids may not be..

    NASA scientists are predicting a chance that asteroid Bennu will strike Earth in the future, potentially affecting an area the size of Texas.

    Bennu is a Near-Earth Object (NEO) that passes by the planet roughly every six years and experts have been watching it since it was discovered in September 1999.

    According to scientists, Bennu has an extremely small chance to pass through what they call a “gravity keyhole” which would send it on a collision course with Earth in the year 2182.

  • The last super blue moon until 2037!

    The last super blue moon until 2037!

    Astronomy enthusiasts are in for a treat Wednesday night: a rare “super blue Moon” that won’t be seen again for more than a decade.

    Supermoons occur when the Moon passes through its perigee, or the point that takes it closest to Earth during its elliptical orbit. This makes it look about 14 percent bigger compared to when it is at its furthest point, and a touch brighter.

    Full Moons are defined by the exact moment they are opposite the Sun, which will occur at 9:36 pm Eastern Time on August 30 (0136 GMT Thursday), according to NASA.

    The previous super blue Moon occurred in December 2009, with the next set to come in quick succession: January and March of 2037.

    The origins of the English expression “once in a blue Moon,” today understood to mean something that is very rare, go back hundreds of years. In Elizabethan times, “he would argue the Moon was blue” could be said about a person making outlandish or patently absurd claims.

    Go outside tonight.. bare feet in the late summer grass.. and take it all in. Who knows if we will even be here by 2037!
