LEAVING THE SOLAR SYSTEM



It is going to be a very exciting couple months in the scientific word! Space explorer Voyager 1 is about to enter interstellar space, leaving the solar system behind.
The Voyager 1 is now 18 milliard km far from the Sun. It is going to be traveling 35 years on Sept.5.2012. It's twin 'brother' the Voyager 2 is flying since Aug.20.1977. to different direction around 15 milliard km from us now. (just checked... yes, Voyager 2 was sent first)
Their primary mission was to explore Jupiter/Saturn (V1) and Uranus/Neptune (V2), and now they are still sending information from out there :)

2005 YU55 - A VISITOR FROM FAR AWAY

Tomorrow at 10:28 pm (gmt) a 1300ft wide carbon asteroid will pass by Earth (distance: 200.000 miles (closer than Moon)). But no worries, it will not hit us, just say Hi! It is very faint, it's surface darker than charcoal, so no much chance to see. Hmmm...lucky us! (source: telegraph.co.uk)

SOLAR STORM

In the next 5 days there is a possibility that a huge solar storm will hit our planet. It is not 100% but a group of black spots (17 times wider area than Earth) in the Sun are going to face us and there is a chance for a magnetic outbreak. If so, than it could cause a little chaos. It can reach us in only within 45 minuets and could change the directions of the radio-wawes above our planet. Last Thursday (Nov.3.2011) it showed what it can produce and you can see the explosion on the second picture. On the first picture you can see the black spots on the upper left part of the Sun.
