What is expected for 2012?

Following the September 2005 eruptions, solar scientists estimated that the next solar cycle, would start in 2007, later than expected, it would be 30-50% stronger than the former (which itself was a record), and reach its climax in 2012 ...

Some believe that the violent activity of the Sun in 2012 will cause even a Terrestrial Pole Shift. Patrick Gerald, in his book "The World Cataclysm in 2012" put it this way:
"The riddles facing astronomers, geologists, physicists and others can be solved in one instance with the catastrophic theories of the ancient Egyptians and Mayans.

What is a solar storm?


The Solar storm is a temporary disruption of the Earth's magnetosphere. Associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME), a coronal hole or a solar flare is a shock wave incoming solar wind between 24 and 36 hours after the event. This only happens if the shock wave travels toward Earth. The solar wind pressure on the magnetosphere will increase or decrease depending on solar activity. The solar wind pressure changes the electrical currents in the ionosphere. Magnetic storms last 24 to 48 hours, but can last for several days.

Future space missions on the Moon for Oxygen Source


NASA studies the most propitious to send to future human and robotic missions to the moon with Ultraviolet Telescope. Hubble has found concentrations of a mineral that could be used as oxygen source for future space missions on the Moon.It is a mineral called Limousin, which is rich in titanium and iron oxide, and which could be extracted with relative ease to provide air oxygen, water and fuel to astronauts.
This concentration of minerals have been discovered in the crater Aristarchus, when exploring the satellite Hubble also photographed areas in the past landed the Apollo 15 and 17 moles on their visits.
