![]() The dragonfly's heart is a Celtic love knot, and its wings are decorated with blue marquise crystals-all plated with 14k white gold. This winged pendant has flown 113,451 feet above the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, hitching a ride onboard an Earth to Sky Calculus cosmic ray balloon: When it is completed in December 2023, Tiangong with be a Mir-class facility massing nearly 70 tons with living space for as many as 7 astronauts and even a Hubble-class telescope to view the cosmos.Ī DRAGONFLY IN THE STRATOSPHERE: Are you looking for a far-out gift? Consider the Sterling Silver Space Dragonfly. The ISS is still much larger, but China is catching up. With solar arrays, a robotic arm, multiple modules, and two spacecraft (Tianzhou 4 and Shenzhou 14) waiting at docking ports, Tiangong is starting to look a lot like the ISS. "I scaled all of these images so they show the spacecraft as they would appear side-by-side at the same distance from my telescope," notes Smith. Between the two is Tiangong as it appeared to Smith on Sept. On the right is a recent photo of the International Space Station. On the left is station's original core module, Tianhe-1, which Smith photographed in 2021. "I created this composite photo to show how much it has grown." 22nd, astrophotographer Philip Smith watched Tiangong fly over his backyard in New York. In the past year alone, it has more than doubled in size, and it is starting to rival its older cousin the International Space Station (ISS). Aurora alerts: SMS Text.ĬHINA'S GROWING SPACE STATION: China's Tiangong space station is in the big leagues now. Fresh data from SOHO coronagraphs are required for confirmation. The explosion occured near the edge of the Earth strike zone. Characteristics of the burst suggest that a CME was being hurled into space at a speed of 820 km/s (1.8 million mph). Shortly after the explosion, the US Air Force reported a Type II solar radio burst, a natural form of radio emission produced by shock waves moving through the sun's atmosphere. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast: MAGNETIC FILAMENT ERUPTION: Today (Sept 23rd around 13:30 UT), a large filament of magnetism near the sun's southwestern limb became unstable and erupted. The gaseous material is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. ![]() 23-24, when a high-speed stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.ĬHANCE OF STORMS TODAY: NOAA forecasters say that minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible later today and tomorrow, Sept. Credit: SDO/HMIĬosmic Rays Solar Cycle 25 is beginning, and this is reflected in the number of cosmic rays entering Earth's atmosphere.
