Scientists say destructive solar blasts narrowly missed Earth in 2012

 

(Reuters) - Fierce solar blasts that could have badly damaged electrical grids and disabled satellites in space narrowly missed Earth in 2012, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

 

The bursts would have wreaked havoc on the Earth's magnetic field, matching the severity of the 1859 Carrington event, the largest solar magnetic storm ever reported on the planet. That blast knocked out the telegraph system across the United States, according to University of California, Berkeley research physicist Janet Luhmann.

 

"Had it hit Earth, it probably would have been like the big one in 1859, but the effect today, with our modern technologies, would have been tremendous," Luhmann said in a statement.

 

A 2013 study estimated that a solar storm like the Carrington Event could take a $2.6 trillion bite out of the current global economy.

 

Massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields, shot into space on July 23, 2012, would have been aimed directly at Earth if they had happened nine days earlier, Luhmann said.

 

The bursts from the sun, called coronal mass ejections, carried southward magnetic fields and would have clashed with Earth's northward field, causing a shift in electrical currents that could have caused electrical transformers to burst into flames, Luhmann said. The fields also would have interfered with global positioning system satellites.

 

The event, detected by NASA's STEREO A spacecraft, is the focus of a paper that was released in the journal Nature Communications on Tuesday by Luhmann, China's State Key Laboratory of Space Weather professor Ying Liu and their colleagues.

 

Although coronal mass ejections can happen several times a day during the sun's most active 11-year cycle, the blasts are usually small or weak compared to the 2012 and 1859 events, she said.

 

Luhmann said that by studying images captured by the sun-observing spacecraft, scientists can better understand coronal mass ejections and predict solar magnetic storms in the future.

 

"We have the opportunity to really look closely at one of these events in all of its glory and look at why in this instance was so extreme," Luhmann said.

Zoooo de Oekraïne ook onder water met de Krim erbij.Zal Poetin niet zo leuk vinden.Zie dat je Atlantis ook ontdekt hebt. :tu

Die Marokkanen zit hoog & droog. :whistle: Enfin gisteren nog koffie bij ze gekocht 6 euro voor een kilo voor 100% Arabica.

 

Ondertussen in de VS vliegen de meteoren om je oren.

De V.S. zullen ook in stukken breken.

Zie hier de toekomstige kaart:

 

mapa_NorthAmerica.jpg

 

Een breuklijn zal een verbinding tussen de Golf van Mexico en de Great Lakes veroorzaken.

Het verdwijngat bij Louisiana is daarvan het begin.

Na de verschuivingen van diverse tectonische platen zal er hier en daar ook land uit de zeebodem oprijzen,

vandaar dat Atlantis weer op de kaart komt.

Nieuws van het verdwijngat:

 

Bayou Corne sinkhole swallows six more trees

 

 

 

River Parishes bureau

March 26, 2014

 

 

BAYOU CORNE — The 29-acre sinkhole in Assumption Parish swallowed six cypress trees Wednesday and had its first deep burp of gas and fluid since late August, parish officials said.

The event comes nearly two weeks to the hour after lead scientists investigating the sinkhole for state regulators said the hole seemed to be on the path to stabilizing.

The sinkhole slowly pulled down six trees about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday on the southwestern side of the lake-like hole...

Wel knap dat Atlantis opgeschoven is naar de Amerikaanse oostkust.:whistle:

 

NASA: mogelijk enorme planeet ontdekt

 

Planets-584x340.jpeg

 

 

 

De potentiële nieuwe planeet zou wel 10 keer groter zijn dan de aarde. Hier en daar wordt al opgemerkt dat de beruchte ‘Planeet X’ wellicht dan toch bestaat. Al decennialang wordt namelijk gesuggereerd dat er ergens in ons melkwegstelsel een grote planeet verstopt zit, omdat Uranus en Neptunus onverklaarde afwijkingen in hun banen hebben.

Of het nu wel of niet Planeet X is, NASA schreef dit: ‘Both Sedna and 2012 VP113 were found near their closest approach to the sun, but they both have orbits that go out to hundreds of AU, at which point they would be too faint to discover. The similarity in the orbits found for Sedna, 2012 VP113 and a few other objects near the edge of the Kuiper Belt suggests the new object’s orbit might be influenced by the potential presence of a yet unseen planet perhaps up to 10 times the size of Earth. Further studies of this deep space arena will continue.’

De ontdekking werd gedaan in Chili met sterke telescopen. 2012VP113 is misschien een dwergplaneet in de naar schatting verst verwijderde omloopbaan om de zon, al ontdekt in 2012. Toen een toegevoegde telescoop er ook naar keek, kon de baan en afstand van 2012VP113 worden bepaald. Zo ook van Sedna (ontdekt in 2003), een ander object in de buurt. Het is de gelijkenis in de baan van Sedna en 2012VP113 die suggereert dat ze mogelijk beïnvloed zijn door een zeer groot ander object.

What is a dwarf planet? Some astronomers have been asking that question after Pluto was demoted from planethood almost a decade ago, partly due to discoveries of other worlds of similar proportions.

Today, astronomers announced the discovery of 2012 VP113, a world that, assuming its reflectivity is moderate, is 280 miles (450 kilometers) in size and orbiting even further away from the sun than Pluto or even the more distant Sedna (announced in 2004). If 2012 VP113 is made up mostly of ice, this would make it large (and round) enough to be a dwarf planet, the astronomers said.

Peering further into 2012 VP113′s discovery, however, brings up several questions. What are the boundaries of the Oort Cloud, the region of icy bodies where the co-discoverers say it resides? Was it placed there due to a sort of Planet X? And what is the definition of a dwarf planet anyway?

First, a bit about 2012 VP113. Its closest approach to the Sun is about 80 astronomical units, making it 80 times further from the Sun than Earth is. This puts the object in a region of space previously known only to contain Sedna (76 AU away). It’s also far away from the Kuiper Belt, a region of rocky and icy bodies between 30 and 50 AU that includes Pluto.

“The detection of 2012 VP113 confirms that Sedna is not an isolated object; instead, both bodies may be members of the inner Oort Cloud, whose objects could outnumber all other dynamically stable populations in the Solar System,” the authors wrote in their discovery paper, published today in Nature.

The Oort cloud (named after the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who first proposed it) is thought to contain a vast number of smallish, icy bodies. This NASA web page defines its boundaries as between 5,000 and 100,000 AUs, so 2012 VP113 obviously falls short of this measure.

The astronomers hypothesize that 2012 VP113 is part of a collection of “inner Oort cloud objects” that make their closest approach at a distance of more than 50 AU, a boundary that is thought to avoid any “significant” interference from Neptune. Orbits of these objects would range no further than 1,500 AU, a location hypothesized as part of the “outer Oort cloud” — the spot where “galactic tides start to become important in the formation process,” the team wrote.

“Some of these inner Oort cloud objects could rival the size of Mars or even Earth. This is because many of the inner Oort cloud objects are so distant that even very large ones would be too faint to detect with current technology,” stated Scott Sheppard, co-author of the paper and a solar system researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science. (The lead author is the Gemini Observatory’s Chadwick Trujillo, who co-discovered several dwarf planets with the California Institute of Technology’s Mike Brown.)

One large question is how 2012 VP113 and Sedna came to be. And of course, with only two objects, it’s hard to draw any definitive conclusions. Theory 1 supposes that the gas giant planets beyond Earth ejected a “rogue” planet (or planets) that in turn threw objects from the Kuiper Belt to the more distant inner Oort Cloud. “These planet-sized objects could either remain (unseen) in the Solar System or have been ejected from the Solar System during the creation of the inner Oort Cloud,” the researchers wrote.

(Planet X hopers: Note that NASA just released results from its Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer that found nothing Saturn’s size (or bigger) as far as 10,000 AU, and nothing bigger than Jupiter at 26,000 AU.)
