In April, the Sun will stop distribution the commands to Mars mission

The planets in the next month will worsen due to the Mars mission. Mars will be almost exactly behind the Sun when viewed from Earth. The sun can easily interrupt the broadcast between two planets when the three celestial bodies line up in one line. To prevent incorrect signaling, dispatchers from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory intend to suspend sending any commands to all the Martian rovers and orbiters in April. Transmission from Mars to Earth, too, will be kept to a minimum.

NASA restarts the Sun 6-minute mission

In December, NASA will initiate the third time in its mission to study the sun, which will hold 6 minutes in space, collecting information about the motion of matter in the atmosphere of our star, causing eruptions and ejections directed towards Earth. Starting mission EUNIS (Extreme Ultraviolet Normal Incidence Spectrograph) will be performed White Sands, New Mexico, on the booster Black Brant IX. 

The sun

A thick tome on the sun, I thought, as I chosen up the package from the post, and in fact, it is a book that is all about the sun, turning the central star of our solar system. It is inconsistently the most misunderstood today star we know and the reference star is still for many astronomical state variables such as mass or luminosity.

If you expect good information about them - it's really about time that once again a book on the current results and findings of solar research is published - will be disappointed by the book, 

Astronomical unit has been changed

At the meeting in Beijing, the International Astronomical Union conference, present her scientists decided that would make a redefinition of the astronomical unit. One astronomical unit will continue to be equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun, but at the same time, scientists now will be secure the monotonous exact evaluation. Now assumed the value of one astronomical unit is equal to 149597870700 meters.

The Sun in September 2012

On 22 September is around 16:49 EST, the astronomical start of autumn. The sunset is the end of September an hour earlier than the first of the month - to 19 ¼ clock. Also in the morning, it is much longer dark: The sunrise is delayed until after 7 clocks.

The sundial reflects the true solar time, which can be determined from the position of the sun in our sky by direct measurements.

The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun

The planet Venus will pass in front of the Sun, in a unique show that will be watched by millions of people from almost all the Earth (between 22:09:30 hours June 5 and 4:49:35 pm of June 6), with the exception of some countries like Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, the Guiana’s and most of Brazil, as well as Spain, Portugal and some African countries.

It is an event not to be repeated during the life of anyone on Earth, as the next transit of Venus will occur in 2117.Required to observe a telescope or binoculars at least, as the shadow of Venus is too small to be observed with the naked eye. This is a serious danger, and to observe the Sun with a telescope can cause severe eye damage, so it is recommended telescopes equipped with special filters, spraying or, safer still: follow the internet.

The Sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year weather cycle

On April 16, from NASA's SDO orbit observation record, a spectacular explosion in the solar corona and captured their images. Astrophysicists consider it the most ostentatious eruption since the launching of this probe, which specializes in solar activity, in February 2010.

The NASA said in a statement that the plasma current caused no threat to Earth, since it is directed in another direction. Furthermore, the magnitude of the flames the solar storm has been blamed on the middle class (M1) and is not the most powerful so far in 2012. However, the turn to the left in the captured images only more impressive visual effect, allow scientists.

The exact position of the Planet to the Sun

On this planet, it is simply amazing to see how science is discovering data that speak of the exquisite precision of the physical and chemical laws that allow life to flourish.

Since the force of gravity, the constant expansion of the universe, the exact position of the planet to the sun, the same power of the sun, the moon brings balance, placement in an exclusive space of the galaxy ... are evidence that an intelligent force as decided and well designed. And that any variation in some of these constants, however small, would make life impossible and even the existence of chemical elements.

Remember “Our ability to make discoveries is not coincidental but points to a latent purpose. The universe has been designed to be discovered."

We find God, by doing science,

May God bless ours?

The Sun Satellites by Observing

Astronomers still have no idea why they occur in more or less regular cycles of 11 years. There is, however, a broad scientific consensus that the entire solar activity, which essentially consists of various forms of explosions and bursts of sun-grown when the number of sunspots, and decreases when this number decreases.

Most of the explosions of sunspots belong to a common variety known as Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). CMEs are clouds of gas at high temperatures leaving the Sun and Interplanetary Space cross, creating shock waves that accelerate different particles, mostly protons, in front of them and resulting in what is known as Proton Storm.
