The Coronal Mass Ejection was caused by the large filament eruption late on August 31st. Minor to Moderate Geomagnetic Storming will be possible at high latitudes, especially on September 3rd. Solar Radiation Storm levels have increased above the S1 (Minor)
NASA's Juno spacecraft, launched August 5, 2011, with a mission to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter, has traveled 478 million miles since the launch, approximately 25% of the total distance it would cover between launch and arrival at Jupiter. As a…
High levels of low energetic protons are recorded streaming past Earth causing minor S1 solar radiation storm. Proton event 10MeV Integral Flux exceeded 10 pfu. Minor impacts on HF radio are possible around polar regions.Elevated solar radiation storm levels are
This short video titled “From the Earth to the Moon” provides an inspirational view of the lunar surface. Most of the images and topographical data were obtained in particular by the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) and Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
Dawn spacecraft is on track to become the first probe to orbit and study two distant solar system destinations. The spacecraft is scheduled to leave the giant asteroid Vesta on Sept. 4 to start its two-and-a-half-year journey to the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn began its
Spectacular solar filament eruption, thousands of kilometers long, occurred at the Sun’s southeast quadrant. Solar X-Ray flux chart values reached almost M-class flare threshold. Huge filament collapsed after almost a week of activity and it resulted in a large C8.1
NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered first multi-planet solar system orbiting two stars named Kepler-47, which resembles the kind of solar system with two Sun(s) depicted in star wars. It is known as circumbinary planetary system and is 4900 light years away in the
A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a calendar month. We had one Full Moon already on August 2 this year and the second will be Friday night, August 31. Full Moons are separated by period of 29 days, so by having 30 or 31 days monthly, sometimes we have two Full
Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope, launched in 2009 and shut down early 2011, was an Earth-orbiting observatory designed by NASA to scan the sky. Whole sky was scanned twice by the telescope in infrared light, captured millions of images and
There are many reports of a meteorite that exploded over South Wales in Southwest Britain on August 27, 2012. People across UK reported that they saw bright light in sky around 11:10 PM local time. Meteorite exploded near town Cwmbran. Police said they have received
