Shields Up! In addition to geomagnetic events, increased proton flux caused by solar events can be catastrophic for astronauts and space hardware - especially COTS systems. Cosmic Shielding Corporations shielding materials are mission proven to not only reduce the number of damaging protons behind the shield by up to an order of magnitude compared to alternative shielding materials, but also reduces the damage potential of the ones that do make it through. This means fewer errors, more uptime, longer operational life, and dramatically reduced costs for operating a satellite constellation. And as a plus, solar events become a little less scary. https://lnkd.in/eAVWRg88

Several missions are already working to find signs of extraterrestrial life in the far reaches of our solar system.

Is There Wind on All Planets? Wind is the movement of air from areas with different pressures, and it is only possible on planets with an atmosphere. After all, this is where air and other gaseous substances exist, which are heated by the solar rays and begin to move in space. ➡ Depending on the distance to the Sun and the composition of the atmosphere, wind speeds vary. Thus, for example, on Venus the speed reaches 100 m/s, and on Neptune it is 580 m/s.

This will be the last chance to catch a total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. for about 20 years, so here's what you need to know to safely enjoy! The Kansas City area can expect to see about 89% coverage, with the peak occurring around 1:54 p.m. (NPR)

@NASA live coverage replay: "Bats and nocturnal animals are coming out.. AMAZING coverage -- Venus and Jupiter can be seen too. Devil Comet, Diamond Ring And Rare Visual Effects. Scientists also suggest wearing red or green while watching the eclipse to take advantage of a phenomenon called the Purkinje Effect, which makes shades of blue and green pop in contrast to darker hues of red—an effect that typically takes half an hour as day fades to night that will happen in a matter of seconds during the eclipse. Devil Comet: Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, the so-called devil comet, could also become visible during the solar eclipse as the midday sun fades to black, providing a rare astronomical possibility to see a comet during the day, when comets typically are not visible to the naked eye. Double Diamond Ring: In the seconds before totality—the total eclipse of the sun—scientists also believe stargazers will be able to catch a glimpse of a double-diamond ring, when two slivers of the moon-covered sun suddenly appear to flash before becoming completely blacked out. NASA Rocket Launch: In an attempt to study the effects of an eclipse on the Earth’s atmosphere, NASA is slated to launch three rockets between 2:40 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. ET. https://plus.nasa.gov/

Will we see a G5 storm? Solar storms, referred to as geomagnetic storms as they collide with Earth’s magnetic field, are ranked on a scale of G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). At least one geomagnetic storm last year ranked as a G4, the most intense storm to hit Earth in years. #solar #astronomy https://lnkd.in/dA-8AWs6

According to NASA, “After the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044. We can't normally see the corona – the Sun's outer atmosphere – because the Sun's surface below it is so much brighter.” Watch this PBS video on where and when you can view this once in a generation natural event. https://lnkd.in/e-bih6gS
