NASA | SDO's Instruments: EVE

Dean Pesnell, the SDO Project Scientist, explains how the the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) instrument will allow us to better measure solar irradiance in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. This type of irradiance, which is absorbed completely by Earth's upper atmosphere, can be dangerous to astronauts and electronics in space.

@dourpil Theirs holes in the atmosphear...

[dellisaheapofshit]

@dourpil did it ever occur to you that the suits block some of the radiation ? or did you think they were just for show ?

[Tamalain]

@dourpil Gold foil shielding perhaps.

Now tell me how the NASA sent astronauts on the moon and how they got back completly healthy..

Amazing! Meteoric crash in Israel! Experts still do not know what it is:

fucking modern design

someone's a wall-e fan.

take a look at my most recent comment of the Nasa site, and the most recent video "NASA | Science for a Hungry World: Part 1"

That shows how ecosystems affect climate. (note I never did say man does not, just that the Sun is the largest contribution to climate (energy)).

Actually if the UN had more people with my views, we'd have a better chance with our future. Instead we are doomed.

Take all the CO2 out of our atmosphere, and we'd still have a dissipation problem.

Thankfully, you're not my education adviser either.

nor are you, or if you are... you need to go back to school.
