Our latest measurements in July 2022 registered a 6-year low: Latest results (July 2022): Atmospheric radiation is decreasing in 2022.
Our monitoring program has been underway without interruption for 7 years, resulting in a unique dataset of in situ atmospheric measurements. These balloons are equipped with sensors that detect secondary cosmic rays, a form of radiation from space that can penetrate all the way down to Earth's surface. SPACE WEATHER BALLOON DATA: Almost once a week, and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. "Lunar Distance." 1 LD = 384,401 km, the distanceīetween Earth and the Moon. All sales support STEM science.Īll sales support hands-on STEM education Each one comes with a greeting card showing the pendant in flight and telling the story of its trip to the edge of space. The students of Earth to Sky Calculus are selling space pendants to support their cosmic ray ballooning program. Here's one flying 107,400 feet above Earth on Aug. That's how you make an Earth to Sky Rose Quartz Heart Pendant.
Wrap it in a sterling silver sunflower filigree. ROSE QUARTZ HEART PENDANT: Take a heart shaped piece of rose quartz. Sky watchers in all northern-tier US states should be alert for auroras. With solar wind speeds nearing 700 km/s, this storm could continue for hours. The auroras were very visible to the naked eye." "This is just a single image-not a composite. "The sky exploded with dancing shapes and pillars as my son and daughter-in-law enjoyed the light show," says Ash. Greg Ash sends this picture from Ely, Minnesota: Auroras have crossed the Canadian border into multiple US states. 4th as Earth enters a high-speed stream of solar wind flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere. GEOMAGNETIC STORM UNDERWAY-NOW: A G2-class geomagnetic storm is underway on Sept. The reason, explains Eric Berger in a new article for Ars Technica, is that the Artemis rocket is largely cobbled together from pieces of the finicky shuttle program. Anyone who ever attended a shuttle launch-only to have it scrubbed in the final minutes of countdown-may be feeling a sense of déjà vu watching Artemis try to get off the launch pad. WHY IS ARTEMIS SO TRICKY TO LAUNCH? Blame the space shuttle. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays. Credit: SDO/HMIĬosmic Rays Solar Cycle 25 is beginning, and this is reflected in the number of cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere. Sunspot AR3089 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares.
