“WARNINGS and predictions can be effectively used to schedule non-standard or maintenance operations during periods of low solar activity, while better shielding and other design improvements are key for successful operations and long lifetime of the systems. To reach these goals requires close contacts between space physics and engineering sciences.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

RAW DATA IS NEEDED. “For prediction of the hazards, it is important to note that the effects are dependent both on the space environment and on the engineering and operations of the technological system, be that a telecommunication satellite or a power transmission line on ground.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

THE LIMIT OF SIMULATIONS. “On the other hand, their use still has serious limitations, both due to missing physics especially in the ionosphere and in the inner magnetosphere, and due to the limitations of the MHD approach in describing the collisionless, multicomponent plasmas in the magnetosphere.” (MHD = Magnetohydrodynamics). https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE. “Suppose you have an ice bucket containing H2O. You don't know whether the water is in the form of liquid or ice cubes, and you're not allowed to look into the bucket. So you try an experiment to find out. You grab a pair of tongs and stick them into the bucket, and out come ice cubes. But if you dip in a ladle, you get liquid water.” https://lnkd.in/g-p9M-4 View in LinkedIn

WASP-121b. Nine-hundred light-years from Earth, there's a football-shaped planet so hot that heavy metals boil through its atmosphere, venting into space. The planet is about 10 times hotter than any other known exoplanet, due to its proximity to its host star, which is hotter than the sun. This proximity also gives the planet its unique shape, because gravitational tidal forces in its atmosphere elongate the whole planet.” https://lnkd.in/d3b5Rts View in LinkedIn

WASP-189b temperatures “are enough to melt all rocks and metals, and even turn them into a gaseous form. It is not quite as hot as the surface of our Sun (6,000 degrees Celsius or 10,832 degrees Fahrenheit), it's basically as toasty as some small dwarf stars.” https://lnkd.in/dyZ3niw View in LinkedIn

CYBERNETICS. “The essence of computational science is the capacity to engineer circuits that transform information from one form into another on the basis of a set of rules. How might the lessons learned here apply to biology? Evolution selects those members of a genetically diverse population whose descendants proliferate rapidly and survive over many generations.” https://www.nature.com/articles/35011540 View in LinkedIn
