now You Can Be Up To Date With Astronomy News By Henry Diaz
Thank you for choosing to read this paper, it was written specifically to be of aid to you.
Astronomy is as vast as the universe it seeks to study. That's because it has the entire universe to explore. So it's no surprise that news is so popular. Here are some recent, tantalizing tidbits of space information.
Astronomy magazine is a great source of news. One of the stories it covered was NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft. IBEX is like a weatherman interested in fronts and their interaction with the medium they encounter. To be exact it is the solar wind and how it interacts with space beyond the reach of the sun. Another goal is to create an accurate picture of the solar system's boundaries.
More news covered by magazine is the discovery of a new aurora on Saturn that's unlike any other known aurora in the solar system. An aurora is formed when charged particles stream along planetary magnetic field. Earth's auroras result from the solar winds. Jupiter's aurorae come from interactions within Jupiter's own magnetic field. But Saturn's new aurora, seen in the infrared spectrum, is something completely new which could
teach scientists a lot about the solar wind and magnetic fields.
|Universe today is another source of news| news can also be found in the magazine “Universe Todayâ€|â€Universe Today†is yet another great source of news}. On November 13, 2008 it carried the story of contact reestablished with the Mars rover. The culprit was a big dust storm. But the Rover named Spirit recovered from a near catastrophic low power period. With the dust blocking sunlight from its solar panels, the fear was that it would shut down completely and never recover. But it recovered and now it's back on the job.
Contact with intelligent life may be a matter of less than 15 years thanks to the Allen telescope array, at least that's what's in news. With time the array will grow in power provided by 350 radio antennas. Well before 2025 people reached so far into space that it can't help but find intelligence.
Finding another intelligent race somewhere out there sure would be huge news.
I hope the information above was useful. Thanks for reading.
