“SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLES affect the space environment in multiple ways. In the outer magnetosphere (especially near the geostationary region), their presence is a hazard for the satellite systems and instrumentation. If they become trapped in the inner magnetosphere dipolar field, they populate the van Allen belts, residing in the magnetosphere for extended periods.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

THE COPERNICAN REVOLUTION AND THE REFORMATION, 1500-1700. “Just as Copernicus started with the geocentric , but reached a heliocentric conception of the physical world, Luther began with an anthropocentric or egocentric conception of religion, but came to a theocentric conception.” https://lnkd.in/d5CXHc3 View in LinkedIn

ERUPTIVE SOLAR FLARE YESTERDAY. “Solar activity has been fairly boring during the past few days but a surprise solar flare woke us up. A long duration C7.41 solar flare peaked today at 16:32 UTC. Sunspot region 2790 is to blame and that is a sunspot region facing Earth! Long duration solar flares are known to produce coronal mass ejections so the question is... was this an eruptive event? C7.4 solar flare. Monday, 7 December 2020 - 19:45 UTC. The answer to that question is a huge yes!“ https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/422/20201207-c7-4-solar-flare.html View in LinkedIn

SUN AND OZONE. “As the energetic particles can penetrate to 20–40 km altitude (depending on their energy), they also affect the middle and upper atmospheric chemistry while colliding with the atmospheric constituents: The particle precipitation leads to an enhancement of NO2 in the atmosphere, which in turn is a catalyst for ozone destruction. This way the solar activity also affects the long-term balance of the atmospheric chemistry.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

“A MAGNETOSPHERE is a cavity in the solar wind flow formed by the interaction of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field with the intrinsic magnetic field or ionized upper atmosphere of a planetary body. In the terrestrial case, the interaction is dominated by the strong intrinsic quasidipolar magnetic field; this is also the case of the outer giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

VENUS AND MARS. “On the other hand, the inner solar system, Earth-like planets Venus and Mars possess no intrinsic magnetic field, and the magnetosphere is then mostly formed by interaction of the atmosphere and ionosphere with the solar wind flow.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
