As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather




NASA Science
June 6, 2010

Earth and space are about to come into contact in a way that's new to human history. To make preparations, authorities in Washington DC are holding a meeting: The Space Weather

Many technologies of the 21st century are vulnerable to solar storms.




Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, explains what it's all about:

"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting together to discuss."

The National Academy of Sciences framed the problem two years ago in a landmark report entitled "Severe Space Weather Events—Societal and Economic Impacts." It noted how people of the 21st-century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can all be knocked out by intense solar activity. A century-class solar storm, the Academy warned, could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.

Much of the damage can be mitigated if managers know a storm is coming. Putting satellites in 'safe mode' and disconnecting transformers can protect these assets from damaging electrical surges. Preventative action, however, requires accurate forecasting—a job that has been assigned to NOAA.

"Space weather forecasting is still in its infancy, but we're making rapid progress," says Thomas Bogdan, director of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.

Bogdan sees the collaboration between NASA and NOAA as key. "NASA's fleet of heliophysics research spacecraft provides us with up-to-the-minute information about what's happening on the sun. They are an important complement to our own GOES and POES satellites, which focus more on the near-Earth environment."

  • FACTS:

    1. NASA has warned of the strong possibility of a cataclysmic geomagnetic storm occurring between now and 2013.

    2. A cataclysmic (G5 or above) geomagnetic storm would likely cripple electrical power grids for months, even years.

    3. No power --> no running water.

    How long can you survive without water?

    Why do our governments and media not educate us about these dangers?

    The above facts are completely grounded in hard science and easily verified within 5 minutes on the web.

  • Destructo Goblins (excellent) control freaks (minimal) progress haters (not as energetic) maybe i could be so bold as to muster up a few suggestions:

    1 Life zappers,

    2 Destiny snatchers

    3 Oxygene thieves

    Hope these help you out guys

    piss funny another classic show

see all

  • there Obaumanations lol

  • how about "asshats"?

  • love u Alex, you're the best!

  • who are these "dangerous people" hes talking about??

  • NASA is also lying about the existence of Nibiru. I find it odd that huge black spot on the south side of the Sun is interesting...

  • @deliriosdelsol The world can only sustain so much bullshit yknow!

  • Really funny!

    Really cool!

    Excellent!

  • Really funny!

    Really cool!

  • Alex is ignorant about space weather. If anything, NASA is DOWNPLAYING the potential for disaster. Not only NASA, but all the major media outlets, as well as most western governments. Here in Asia, geomagnetic storms robbed us of spring. Heavy snowstorms throughout April, sub-freezing Arctic gales until the end of May. You in the west don't know what terrifying weather we endured because THE MEDIA DIDN'T REPORT IT. Why? The global elite want 90% of us dead, and space weather can can do it.
