  Why are the stars so bright In late December, January, February? because our evening sky faces away from the Milky Way’s where stars are in the rich center of the light. We’re also looking toward the M31 or Galaxy Andromeda that his halo already interfering with our galaxy milk way. This is about halfway to the Milky Way, stated a report by NASA in August 2020. Consider the sky at the opposite time of year. In June, July, and August, the evening sky seen from the entire Earth is facing toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

  Asteroid called “16 Psyche” That’s Worth $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 this is a main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. That maybe ex Planet of our solar system, West Virginia report Psyche is made almost entirely of metals, just like the core of Earth, according to a study published in the Planetary Science Journal on Monday 2020 October 26. That Space Telescope during two observations in 2017, researchers deduced that Psyche’s surface could be mostly pure iron. ANYWAY Psyche is the target of the NASA Discovery Mission Psyche, expected to launch in 2022.

  Explaining and correcting the excessive wrong variation in Ellerman bombs after a new sunspot is emerging on 15 Oct 20 near the sun's southeastern limb. The same week cosmic rays are high due to extended low geomagnetic activity, the galactic cosmic radiation approached the level of the local interstellar spectra temporal and spatial dependence of the solar wind. This article is about the astronomical object. For the image stitching feature, see VR photography. For the solar disk in Egyptian mythology. Cosmic rays are high-energy protons and atomic nuclei which move through space at nearly the speed of light. They originate from the sun, from outside of the solar system, and from distant galaxies in connection with Quasars. Ellerman bombs studied this particular Solar Blasts in the early 20th century. He first described them in an article in 1917 appear as randomly moving filaments as two oppositely charged ions flow meets in the sun photosphere. Ellerman bombs are short-lived br

  Total solar eclipse 2020 On December 14, celestial movement once again unfolds as the Sun and Moon line up with Earth to produce the greatest of nature’s spectacles: a total solar eclipse. The 2020 total solar eclipse path of totality crosses great lakes, hot springs, and an active volcano. On December 14, 2020, the path of totality will stretch across the Chilean Lake District and Argentina’s northern Patagonia region. It will begin at 1 p.m. local time on the west coast of Chile and end at 1:24 p.m. local time on the east coast of Argentina. The maximum eclipse will occur south of Neuquén, near Sierra Colorada, and last 130 seconds.

We study the seasonal variation of substorms, geomagnetic activity, and solar wind drivers.   The number of substorms and substorm mean duration depicts an annual variation with high in Winter and Summer, respectively, reflecting the annual change of the local ionosphere.  Spring-fall asymmetry of substorm variation of geomagnetic activity investigated for different conditions of the interplanetary magnetic field during one solar cycle solar minimum years (example) of 1954 and 1996   in the declining phase of the two cycles when high-speed streams dominate the solar wind.  The solution to this problem requires a complete reconstruction of the Dst index. The derivation of this reconstructed and extended index, to be called here the Dxt index, closely follows the original recipe for the Dst index [Sugiura, 1969; Sugiura and Kamei, 1991,  which encircles the Earth close to the magnetic equator in the Van Allen (or radiation) belt of the magnetosphere. During large magnetic storms, the si

  We report the optical Supernova and high luminosity Supernovae have an outsized impact on many areas of astrophysics: they are major contributors to the chemical enrichment of the cosmos and significantly influence the formation of subsequent generations of stars and the evolution of galaxies. Here we review the observational. Observational and theoretical spectra of supernovae' the physical basis of SN Ia explosions is still not completely understood. All models for SN Ia predict large quantities in the ejecta, but it is not clear that observations confirm this. The discrepancies between theoretical and observed spectra are due primarily to the one-dimensional hydrodynamic models. The spectral data are not consistent with the high-density “spike” (in radial coordinate) after analysis of the light curves, on 23 Aug 2020, Supernova Identification by tonynetone confirms an international collaboration between in the Russia and U.S. and many scientific institutions across the UK, Fra

Meteor Activity Outlook for July 15-August 10, 2020 Alpha Capricornids is a meteor shower visible rates usually around 3 per hour. That takes place as early as 15 July and continues until around 10 August. The meteor shower was discovered by Hungarian astronomer Miklos von Konkoly-Thege in 1871. This shower has infrequent but relatively bright meteors, with some fireballs. The parent body is comet 169P/NEAT. Minor planet 2002 EX12 (=comet 169P/NEAT) is identified as the parent body of the alpha Capricornid shower, based on a good agreement in the calculated and observed direction and speed of the approaching meteoroids for ejecta 4500-5000 years ago. The meteoroids that come to within 0.05 AU of Earth's orbit show the correct radiant position, radiant drift, approach speed, radiant dispersion, duration of the activity, and distribution of dust at the other node, but meteoroids ejected 5000 years ago by previously proposed parent bodies do not.

Polarimetry Probes Brown Dwarf Clouds which shows signs of cloud bands similar to those seen on Jupiter Currently Luhman 16 is the third-closest-known star/brown-dwarf system to the Sun after the triple Alpha Centauri system (4.37 ly) and Barnard's Star (5.98 ly), Luhman 16A is p art of a binary system (Luhman 16) containing a second brown dwarf, Luhman 16B. This pair of brown dwarfs Luhman 16A and Luhman 16B orbit each other. Despite the fact that Luhman 16A and 16B have similar masses and temperatures and presumably formed at the same time, they show markedly different weather. Luhman 16B shows no sign of stationary cloud bands, instead showing evidence of more irregular, patchy clouds Polarimetry  is the measurement and interpretation of the  polarization  of  transverse waves , most notably  electromagnetic waves , such as radio or light waves. Typically polarimetry is done on electromagnetic waves that have traveled through or have been  reflected ,  refracted,  or 

Betelgeuse and 61 Ori Mu Orionis is a star that can be located in the constellation of Orion. The description is based on the spectral class. Mu Orionis's Alternative Names Mu Orionis (Mu. Ori) is the Bayer Classification for the star. The Bayer Classification was created by Johann Bayer in 1603. The brightest star in the constellation is normally given the Alpha designation, there are exceptions such as Pollux which is Beta Geminorum. The Id of the star in the Yale Bright Star Catalogue is HR2124. HIP28614 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalog is HD40932. Flamsteed designations are named after the creator, Sir John Flamsteed. Sir John named the stars in the constellation with a number and its Latin name, this star's Flamsteed designation is 61 Orionis. The Flamsteed name can be shortened to 61 Ori. BD number is the number that the star was filed under in the Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung,

Every year in the Spring, dust from the Sahara Desert is swept up by the winds and brought all the way to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea. From the Saharan hinterland and in the bed of these hot winds directed towards Europe, large quantities of desert dust will travel which will be concentrated in suspension at the highest altitudes of the atmosphere ready to reach after a small long journey, European geological part. What happens? The difference between zones of high and low pressure together with southerly winds swept another round of Saharan dust to Europe. At this time of year in Europe, you may have noticed something in the air. Dust-laden winds blowing from the Sahara desert may be a cause of “seasonal haze episodes.

THE TOP 10 LARGEST PLANETARY MOONS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM At 5,262 kilometers in diameter, Jupiter's Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. Titan orbits Saturn and is the second-largest moon with a diameter of 5,150 km. Callisto is the moon that orbit planet Jupiter and the third-largest moon among all. Io moon also orbits around planet Jupiter and has a diameter of 3,643 km. It is the fourth-largest moon and was discovered by 1610 by Galileo Galilei. At five-place the Earth’s Moon (3,475km), At six place Jupiter's Europa (3,122km) At seven place Neptune's Triton (2,707km), Titania, Uranus 8 place – Diameter: 1,578 km (980 miles). The largest of Uranus’s many moons, Titania was discovered by William Herschel in 1787 and it said to have a ‘snowball’ like the surface of the ice. Saturn's second-largest moon is the ninth-largest (1,529km) Ten of place Uranus's Oberon (1,523km). Oberon is the King of the Fairies and husband of Titania i

April 12th is the anniversary of the first large scale commercial spam – the infamous “Green Card Lawyers” message that was posted to every newsgroup on Usenet News (right). Though there were attempts at spamming starting as early as 1978, Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to steal information by social engineering: the act of criminal deception. A phishing technique was described in detail in a paper and presentation delivered to the 1987 International HP Users Group, Interex. The earliest phishing cases beginning, as fake emails were pretty easy to detect. Starting in the ‘90s, phishing attackers targeted the AOL users but today, threat Protection services, provide dynamic, robust protection against email threats. The service traces its history to an online service known as PlayNET, which hosted multi-player games for the Commodore 64. PlayNET licensed their software to a new service, Quantum Link (Q-Link), who went online in November 1985. PlayNET shut down shortly thereafter. T

Quasars, biggest and distant bright objects in space that are similar to stars. Astronomers called them "quasi-stellar radio sources," or "quasars," because the signals came from one place, like a star. However, the name is a misnomer; according to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, only about 10 percent of quasars emit strong radio waves. NASA’s Hubble space telescope spots quasar tsunamis ripping across galaxies. Quasars give off more energy than 100 normal galaxies combined. Because they are so far away from us, it takes billions of years for the light they give off to reach Earth. The light stays the same, it just has to travel a long time to get to us. When we look at a quasar, it is like we are looking back in time. The light we see today is what the quasar looked like billions of years ago. NASA’s Hubble space telescope has helped astronomers spot quasar tsunamis ripping across galaxies. Quasars are extremely remote celestial objects, emi

NASA JUNOCAM UP TO DATE WELCOME TO THE JUNOCAM COMMUNITY WHERE YOU CAN ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE MISSION! UPLOAD YOUR IMAGES OF JUPITER AND HELP US DECIDE WHAT POINTS OF INTEREST JUNOCAM WILL PHOTOGRAPH. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AMATEUR OBSERVERS The Juno mission science team strongly encourages mission-supporting observations from both the professional and amateur communities. To help us in our planning during the mission, we are accepting imaging contributions from the amateur community with a point of deposit on the Mission Juno website. Image files can be uploaded onto the site, including those from earlier in the year (e.g the epoch around Jupiter opposition in early February). We will assess our ability to work with the data received, organizing it and transforming it into a form most useful for the Juno science team. We will accept data in any form and using any filters that are available to each contributor. We note that images that will be most valuable for us should not be

Greek astronomer and mathematician, probably from Alexandria, employed by  Julius Caesar  to devise the  Julian calendar .  He is known as the main astronomer who helped Julius Caesar with his reform of the Roman lunar calendar, although his role in this reform is not very clear.    Plutarch  simply states, without mentioning any names, that Caesar consulted the best philosophers and mathematicians before making an improved calendar of his own.  The Romans had traditionally had a lunar 12-month calendar of 355 days. To bring it into phase with the solar year an intercalary (inserted) month of 27 days was supposed to be added every other year to a reduced February of 23 or 24 days. In theory, this should have produced a year of 366¼ days, which would have proved inaccurate in the long run but should have been controllable by skipping intercalation whenever the discrepancy became too uncomfortable.   Caesar’s adoption of the 365–l/4–day a solar year may have been one result of Sosigenes’

S olar Storms Might Confuse Whale Navigation, and Make Them More Likely to Strand Themselves There’s evidence that many different creatures use the Earth’s magnetism to navigate. That capability is called magnetoreception, and it allows organisms to sense magnetic fields, and to d erive their direction, altitude, and location from those fields. Scientists say there are two hypotheses to explain magnetoreception.    Solar Storms Might Confuse Whale Navigation

Independent Astronomers from NASA open LEGAL BID to stop Starlink satellites also Observatory of Trieste in Italy believe the night sky is a shared human right under the World Heritage Convention in a case which could be brought to the International Court of Justice. The astronom ers wrote: “The harm here is damage to our cultural heritage, the night sky, and monetary damages due to the loss of radio and other types of astronomy. However, radio astronomy is also used to search for signs of life elsewhere in the universe LIKE  Project Phoenix | SETI Institute. Project Phoenix was the world's most sensitive and comprehensive search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It was an effort to detect extraterrestrial civilizations. Now astronomers are snapping the satellites as bright trails of light recognise that this will leave some lingering nervousness with Science discovery.

Supermoon of 2020 March 9 will be at 6:48 PM on Monday. The month of October 2020 alone is supposed to include two full moons with second of the two is a blue moon on Oct. 31 The next full moon is scheduled for Feb. 9 at about 2:33 a.m. (ET). This one is called the “Snow Moon.” Why? As the midwinter moon or the second full moon of winter, by the Native American tribes.

In popular astronomy, a Supermoon appears when a Full Moon or New Moon reaches its point of perigee – its closest orbit above Earth. A New Moon signals the start and end of the monthly lunar cycle when the Sun’s rays fall on the Moon’s far side. When combined on the same night or day, a rare and ominous Black Moon is bo
