The sun shines and
illuminates our planet by our scientists, while those watching our nearest star
in an attempt to deepen the understanding of solar activity and its importance
to our planet. Unique data obtained from studies of the Sun, will help scientists
to replenish the treasury of our knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere and
climate. June 30 was the second occasion in the history of space exploration,
when the International Space Station has changed his position to assist in the
new study, giving astronomers a chance continuous review of our star.
"European
scientists have asked us to slightly move the station, because placing the
additional time they will be able to combine the results of observations of the
Sun, which will be produced in two different periods of time to review the
overall appeal of the Sun around its axis from the beginning to the end - said
scientist of the International Space Station Dr. Julie Robinson. - The ISS
program has allowed slightly shift the station at their request. "
Typically, observations
of the Sun, produced with the ISS, a significant impediment to their own solar
panel plant, reducing the window for observing our star to 10-12 days. These
windows are given about once a month and not allow the observation of a complete
revolution of the sun around its own axis.
