FINALLY TWO DAYS LATER NASA RELEASES AN "OFFICIAL" EXPLANATION
Date: Wed, 03 Jun 1998 14:53:32 -0500 Subject: [lunascan] SOHO Spacecraft Sees Two Comets Plunge into Sun Douglas Isbell Headquarters, Washington, DC June 3, 1998 (Phone: 202/358-1547) Bill Steigerwald Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD (Phone: 301/286-5017) NOTE TO EDITORS: N98-38 SOHO SPACECRAFT SEES TWO COMETS PLUNGE INTO SUN In a rare celestial spectacle, two comets have been observed plunging into the Sun's atmosphere in close succession, on June 1 and 2. This unusual event on Earth's own star was followed on June 2 by a likely unrelated but also dramatic ejection of solar gas and magnetic fields on the southwest (or lower right) limb of the Sun. The observations of the comets and the large erupting prominence were made by the LASCO coronagraph on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. Science instruments on SOHO have discovered more than 50 comets, including many so-called sun grazers, but none in such close succession. The eruption of solar gas was directed away from Earth and does not pose a hazard to our planet or orbiting astronauts. Video footage of these intriguing events will be uplinked on the NASA TV Video File at 11 a.m. and 3:55 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 4. Selected images and an image sequence of the new observations can be found on the World Wide Web at the NASA SOHO Website: http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/comets/SOHO_sungrazers.html SOHO is a joint undertaking of NASA and the European Space Agency. Development of the LASCO instrument was coordinated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. Dr. Donald Michels of the LASCO science team led the team that observed this rare phenomenon. NASA Television is carried on GE-2, transponder 9C, 85 degrees West longitude, vertical polarization, frequency 3880 MHz, audio 6.8 Megahertz. |
Editor's note: two stellar objects in line-abreast, smacking the sun to be followed by an immense burst in the corona, does not appear to me as a phenomenon easily dismissed as cosmic coincidence. Sorry, NASA, but once again your flippancy cuts no ice with me. Quoting a friend, "Is it reasonable to assume that these ridiculous Nasa/s Nasa/JPL explanations and non-explanations on these recent events on Mars, the Sun and MIR are just feelers to see how groups like ours react to disseminating this info and studying our reactions?" "If you'll notice, the new elements"Californium" and Berkelium" don't have the names we gave them..anyway, this is what I was alluding to in a previous post as the type of device being fired at the Sun to break down the Helium into H2,3,4,5,6,7 and temporarily "rejuvenate" our sun into normal balanced H2 and He star with normal thermonuclear operational characteristics. If this is true, then I sincerely hope it is successful as it is a "dangerous experiment at best." |
